The deeper story

Quality & Value

Antique enamel jewelry's collectibility is documented at the highest market levels: Art Nouveau, Byzantine, and Faberge pieces are held in major museums worldwide and achieve significant auction prices on a consistent basis.

A Storied Heritage

The dragonfly's defining moment in fine jewelry was during the Art Nouveau era, where its iridescent wings and hovering flight made it an ideal muse for the movement's naturalistic form and enameled color work. Renowned French jeweler Rene Lalique developed the most complete interpretation, and his dragonfly pieces remain the primary standard against which the motif is evaluated today.

The Perfect Fit

The revolver clasp's barrel and tongue are machined to fixed dimensions, so there is no adjustment mechanism within the clasp itself. Length variation on a bracelet or necklace using this closure comes from the chain structure: extender links, jump rings, or multiple attachment points at the terminal end.
