Description

The Parisian designer René Lalique was the pre-eminent decorative artist of his time. This pendant is proof of this. It is a spectacular interpretation of the pansy, a flower motif that was a favourite in Art Nouveau. The pansy, rendered in iridescent blue enamel, is depicted already wilting. The partially folded edges of the leaves are set with diamonds. The flower's French name - 'pensée' - lends it the symbolic meaning of commemoration and remembrance.
