Necklace with mussel, diamond and engravable medaillon in 18 ct. gold
The mussel. Plus Belge que ça, tu meurs. Belgian surrealist Marcel Broodthaers elevated these crafty molluscs to the status of art with his world famous ‘Mosselpot’. For him every single mussel was an artist in its own right because a mussel secretes its own shell, and creates itself in the process. The fact that mussels have no molds (“la moule n’a pas de moule”) was an eternal source of admiration and amusement to Broodthaers. And to us - which is why we turned this symbol of stubborn authenticity into a conspicously secretive pendant, that comes with an engravable medaillon. You can choose to have it engraved with your own handwritten message or select a quote handwritten by our founder Katrin Wouters, making it uniquely suited as a gift. A diamond awaits discovery within the valves. Hide or flaunt? Up to you!
From the La Fête des Bêtes 18 ct. gold collection, an eminently wearable collection of ‘objets bouleversants’ that pays a playful homage to surrealism.
No two diamonds are alike and that’s exactly what we love about this precious stone our hometown Antwerp is known for. Every diamond used in Wouters & Hendrix designs is hand-picked for its aesthetics and is guaranteed to have come from legitimate sources. The 4Cs—color, clarity, cut and carat weight—are the globally accepted standards for assessing the quality of a diamond. Read more about the 4C's here.
