Price : US $359 Product Description Jewelry design was the first profession of Rene Lalique, his first passion. Around 1882, when he began his career, jewelry as an Art was virtually non-existent. Originality and inspiration were ignored in favour of sumptuous luxury and profusion of precious stones. The revolutionary creations of Rene Lalique made him the Master of "Art Nouveau" jewelry. He created jewelry landscapes and sculptures in which his expression found form in plant, animal and feminine shapes. He did not hesitate the use techniques and materials which had previously been ignored, such as horn, ivory, semi-precious stones, enamel and even glass, which he juxtaposed with gold and precious stones. The talent of Rene Lalique won him the admiration of collectors and celebrities of that time. Highly eclectic creator, he later designed, with the same genius flacons for some of the most famous perfume brands.
