Eye brooch by Jean Cocteau — Schiaparelli surrealist jewelry reference

In fashion jewelry, Elsa Schiaparelli was supported by many artists on an international level, and among them Jean Cocteau, designer of a famous eye brooch.

Under the artistic direction of Daniel Roseberry, in retreating the surrealist codes, Elsa Sen exploited the eye in many luxurious ways. Elsa Sen also has a large reference culture in jewelry which allowed her giving a touch of old Yves Saint Laurent or old Lacroix jewelry. Several techniques like baroque gilded brass to more photorealistic iris prints under resin inclusion were explored. Each collection conveys these codes in a new way with a sense of detail and an artistic hand typical to Elsa Sen.
