A bejeweled Bird Of Paradise, where else than in The Garden of Adin?
Just as spring's warmth lingers in this mild winter, so too does this bird of paradise remain perched on its branch here in the Garden of Adin. The ancient Greeks called it a Phoenix, the Egyptians a Bennu, and the Persians a Huma. Regardless of its cultural name, this bird of paradise symbolises resurrection within its own fire. And how this Fifties brooch ignites in an incandescent inferno of vibrant gemstones and plique-à-jour enamel.
Although this challenging technique, using vitreous enamel between the design's cells, was mostly employed during the Art Nouveau period, it now adds extra visible depth to the mythological meaning of this jewel's depiction. Its coloured translucence flares next to the diamonds, turquoises, and ruby. So, hurry to purchase it before it flies off to its winter retreat, now that Frost's cold is promised to come.
