Material: 24K Gold
Gold Weight: 59.78g
Craft: Cast blossoms, openwork butterflies and wire-worked branch details
Peonies have long carried associations of prosperity, beauty and distinction in Chinese decorative arts. Here, their fullness is balanced by butterflies and delicate branching forms, giving the composition an almost weightless intricacy.
Filigree brings texture to the layered blossoms, while openwork keeps the butterflies fine and expressive. Three articulated chains extend beneath the arrangement, introducing movement with every turn of the head.
Part of the Wedding Collection, where ceremonial traditions are preserved through the language of gold.
An ornament with the presence of something kept, worn and eventually passed on.
