This exceptional floral brooch presents the house’s mastery of naturalistic design. It is crafted as a dahlia, set in 18K yellow gold and adorned with oval cabochon opals of the finest quality, displaying colors from fiery oranges and reds to soft, luminous blues. Collet-set circular-cut diamonds accent the vibrant composition.
After René Boivin’s untimely death in 1917, his widow Jeanne Boivin assumed leadership of the house, a groundbreaking achievement for a woman in early 20th-century jewelry. Drawing inspiration from nature, distant lands and Art Deco architecture, she produced some of the most original and impeccably executed jewels of the era. Circa 1956, this brooch reflects Jeanne Boivin’s vision, balancing bold elegance with naturalistic beauty to create a work of lasting distinction.
