Among fauna, the swallow particularly inspired René Lalique, which he then made the centrepiece of many jewels and decorative objects. With admiration and respect for this immense artist Lalique reinterprets the figure of the swallow, recurring in the Master’s work, herald of spring, symbol of happiness and freedom. Fashioned in satin-finished and re-polished crystal, emblematic of Lalique, the swallows with a magnet can be juxtaposed in a graphic play on repetition.
