  • Catalogue Essay

    Pierre Sterlé was certainly a jewellery genius in history. Since 1940s, he had created numerous amazing pieces with forms previously unseen. His predominant inspiration came from nature and a particular fascination with birds which reappeared time and again in stylised form. The present Sterlé brooch is a great example of his iconic creations, the signature stylised bird design with using several different textures and colours of gold within one piece.
