Patrice Fabre has a boutique in the prestigious rue Saint-Honoré in Paris. The jeweler in his lookbook has a number of interesting pieces. One of the latest creations is the Mandarin bracelet composed of mandarin garnets, for more than 80 carats. The effect is as a pavé, but like the skin of a snake. A mosaic of warm yellow and orange, which evokes an oriental theme. In the midst of the garnets there are also diamonds. The stones are mounted on gold rose. In short, a jewel flavor zen. Necklace Galion, however, as the name suggests, is inspired by the big ships plying the seas between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and mainly used by the Spanish to the conquest of new territories in the Americas. This piece consists of small cylinders of imperial topaz crystals, symbolizing the masts, and large rings in gold and diamonds, perhaps remembering the anchor chain. M.d.B.
