From totally abstract designs to the whimsical representation of birds or flowers, we love the dynamism of French jewellery of the 1950’s and 1960’s. The contrast of brilliant and step cuts and the intricate finishes of the metals give brilliant texture to the pieces of this glamorous period of history.
