Necklace with mussel pendant and heart-shaped garnet 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 Broodthaers every single mussel was an artist in its own right because a mussel secretes its own shell, and creates itself in the process. That mussels have no molds (“la moule n’a pas de moule”) was a 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: the heart-shaped garnet it protects is there for you to know - or show. As you like it.
From the La Fête des Bêtes 18 ct. gold collection, an eminently wearable collection of ‘objets bouleversants’ that pays a playful homage to surrealism.
