Alligators and Cartier

StumbleUpon Toolbar | No Comments
Peter Lippmann is a Paris-based photographer who was born in the US.  He's done quite a wide range of still-lives, from food to fashion to jewelry, and has had a long standing relationship with the Cartier Art magazine.  Magazine No. 14 features a photoshoot "Seduction", pairing the Cartier pieces with Alligators. It starts with a pair of gold and precious stone Alligators, which together form a necklace, that were commissioned by the early 20th century Mexican actress Maria Felix (previously referenced).

The La Dona watch in 18kt gold is featured in the next two.  This model was inspired by Mrs. Felix, hence the connection with the initial pieces in the shoot.
