Animal jewelry

For centuries, animal jewelry has fascinated with its symbolism. Whether snake rings or necklaces to symbolize eternity or butterfly brooches embodying transformation, these creations reveal a deep connection with nature. In the Victorian era, snake or bee jewelry was a testament to love or power. In Art Nouveau jewelry, mythological animals such as the dragon or the chimera, as well as insects, were sublimated by materials such as enamel, pearls and precious stones. Good luck jewelry such as elephant pendants for longevity, ladybugs for luck or pigs for prosperity were also very popular. Panther bracelets, made famous by Cartier, or lion rings, still evoke power and elegance today.
