With grace and clarity

After the enormous success of his Art Nouveau jewellery at the Paris World Fair in 1900, René Lalique gave free rein to his creativity. He continued to integrate new materials into the chiselled gold sets, breaking with the jewellery codes of the time. He worked with enamel – he invented a new process for which he registered a patent – ivory and moonstones, with grace and clarity. His jewels are never heavy and massive but lacy and airy, like this Laurier tiara, in the centre of the picture, made of gold, diamonds, pearls and enamel. His enamels are sometimes opaque, sometimes translucent, as in a stained-glass window.
