South Sea Pearls, Diamonds, Tsavorites, Sapphires, 18K White Gold
This set is a heartfelt ode to the designer's aspiration for peace, featuring iconic symbols of tranquillity and harmony. Olive branches and doves, long-standing emblems of peace, are central to this theme. The olive branch, a sign of peace in Western civilization since at least the 5th century BC in Greece, was traditionally seen as a symbol of abundance, believed to ward off evil spirits. Similarly, the dove has been celebrated across various cultures for thousands of years, symbolizing peace, innocence, love, and the renewal of life. This bird gained contemporary significance as a symbol of peace through Pablo Picasso, who popularized it in modern times when it was chosen as the emblem for the World Peace Congress in 1949.
This refined brooch features two doves, elegantly crafted with pearl bodies and blue sapphire eyes, perched on a ring of olive branches. The branches are intricately adorned with tsavorites in the form of olive leaves, bringing together a harmonious blend of symbols rich in historical and cultural significance. This piece serves as a beautiful accessory and a meaningful statement of peace and unity.
