Richard Devoyer Brooch, from France

This exceptionally lightweight Richard Devoyer brooch from France measures 105 x 75 x 25 mm and is comprised of natural elements like plant matter (roots, specifically) and amethyst as well as wire and lacquer. There is a safety catch and the jeweler's hallmark on the reverse.

Devoyer has created jewelry for Christian Lacroix, Ungaro, Féraud of Paris, and Maison Lesage. He writes on his website:

Nature, wood in particular, curiosity, imagination and a touch of know-how; here are the ingredients for all of my creations.

Create objects with the most mundane natural materials; divert them from their destiny as fuel by transforming them into fashion accessories or decorative objects” such is my philosophy.

Around thirty years of research and trial and error were necessary to bring this passion for wood to fruition, giving it the sophisticated appearance corresponding to the world of Haute Couture.

Wood has always aroused keen interest, particularly for its exceptional feel and lightness.

The idea of ​​wearing a small piece of nature has appealed to many creative enthusiasts.
I have extended the use of natural materials to decoration in general and in particular to tableware, door handles, mirrors and other objects intended for the home.
