The bestiary of the jewellers

by Redaction NOW Village


Wild, domestic, adorable or impressive animals have always been a source of inspiration for jewelers. Let us find here some creations of jewels to be tamed.                               

Timeless and constantly reinvented, the creation of jewelry inspired by wildlife is often found at the heart of the collections. Since antiquity, ornaments in the effigy of animals have appeared, often the emblem of a lineage or sometimes even that of a fetish. Since then, the bestiary has never ceased to inspire great names in jewelry. Let’s go hunting, capture some beautiful specimens.

The art of working with stones is not only limited to jewelry! At Swarovski, we find all kinds of precise crystal sculptures with multiple reflections. One retains in particular this stallion whose impressive detail exudes at the same time a feeling of power and delicacy. Ideal to decorate as well as to offer!

The snake is the animal dreamed of for jewelry, symbol of temptation, charisma and sensuality, we find it in the collections of many jewelers. The Italian brand Bulgari has made it its favorite animal. The reptilian creations are undoubtedly hypnotic, especially with the pink gold snake bracelet with rubellite eyes embellished with semi-pavé diamonds.

Fantastic animals

Collectible Animals ©Boucheron

Boucheron is one of those prestigious houses for which the animal world has always had a predominant place in their creation. It symbolizes a virtue, a trait of character, a value. The animal becomes a totem when worn as a ring, necklace, brooch or earrings. Shaped by Boucheron craftsmen, set with emeralds or sapphires, it becomes a precious and exclusive companion. From hummingbirds to wolves, from polar bears to white swans, more than 20 different species make up the bestiary of the Animaux de Collection catalog.

The brilliant Tiffany dragonflies

The indomitable Cartier Panther

Panther Ring ©Cartier

Mythical collection ” Panther of Cartier ” ! The first creation was created in 1948 with an enamelled gold panther brooch that sits on a 116.74 carat emerald, designed by Jeanne Toussaint, then Artistic Director of the House of Cartier, and intended for the Duchess of Windsor. A dazzling success, the panther became the emblematic animal for Cartier, which has never ceased to reinvent itself over the years. Our animal instinct draws us to the Cartier Panther Ring, 18 karat white gold, set with 285 diamonds for 2.39 carats, emeralds, onyx.

The adorable koala Thomas Sabo
