Marie-Christine PAVONE Broche Renard Ladyfox Roux Marbré

Elegant and stylish Lady fox brooch by Marie-Christine Pavone. It is made by
hand in 3 layers from an old slab of galalith. The galalith is treated to look
like marble inside and colored shades of radiant ginger brown with a hint of
gold. The marbling inside is through and through and gives the galalith a
unique internal, mother of pearl like, shine, both front and back. Thereafter
the beautiful lady is very stylishly portrayed, using light brown paint and
little black balls for eyes and nose. The surface is hard and very shiny. The
lady measures 3 5/8" x 2 3/4" approx. Slab is appr. 3/16" thick. Signed by hand
at the back. Excellent unworn condition.
The photos shown are of the actual item you are purchasing.

Next to the wonderful iridiscent effect the marbling gives, it makes the
colors very susceptible to the color of light shining on it, bright in the
daylight, dark outside the light, yellower in the artificial light at night etc.

Pavone jewels are fancy brooches, earrings, bracelets and necklaces made with
the help of ancient techniques of handcrafted galalith, bakelite and lucite.
Galalith is the most used material in the creation of Pavone jewelry. Galalith
is made from the casein of milk hence its name, "gala" (milk) and lithos
(stone). Discovered at the end of the 19th century, it is the ancestor of
plastics.
This brooch is an original piece of work handmade by Marie-Christine Pavone in
her Paris Studio. Marie-Christine’s brooches are all individual works of art
which take up to three weeks to create. The brooches are hand cut from old
Galalith, (they are not moulded or laser cut). The Galalith starts of as a
milky white and is then dyed and impregnated in order to achieve the bold and
vibrant iridescent colours and silky appearance. Every stage of the brooch
production is done by hand. The magic Marie-Christine puts into her galalith
items, the liveliness it brings is her trademark, they cannot be mistaken.
The creation of Pavone jewels began more than twenty years ago, trends and
styles mixing old and new. Each item is signed and has a name; it is a unique
and rare jewel, that can bring a very personal and original touch to your
outfit.

Please treat your jewelry with care and do not drop it on hard surfaces. Avoid
contact with perfumes, lotions and sunscreen as they may dull or damage the
galalith and surface decoration.

Note that colors may not allways be captured right in a photograph and can
appear very different on different screens. If you have any doubts or
questions, please ask before ordering to avoid disappointment. Also bear in
mind that handmade means little imperfactions may occur.
