A Lalique necklace – €145,000 (£131,820) at Thierry de Maigret on November 29.
René Lalique’s jewellery showing his characteristic but highly distinctive interpretation of Art Nouveau finds plenty of keen fans.
This quatre libellules (four dragonflies) gemset gold pendant necklace, pictured above, features his trademark semi-precious stones (opals) and the delicate plique à jour technique of enamelling to create the translucency of the insects’ wings.
