Galalith of the tulip is 5/16" thick, the general elements are 1/4" thick. Signed by hand at the back. New unworn condition. The photos shown are of the actual item you are purchasing. Please note that handmade brooches from Pavone can sometimes have imperfections during the process, this is part of her art. they are new and unused and come from Mrs. Pavone's studio in Paris. If that's something you don't like. Perhaps these brooches are not for you. Next to the wonderful iridiscent effect the marbling gives, it makes the colors very susceptible to the color of light shining on it, bright in the daylight, dark outside the light, yellower in the artificial light at night etc. Pavone jewels are fancy brooches, earrings, bracelets and necklaces made in Paris with the help of ancient techniques of handcrafted galalith, bakelite and lucite. Galalith is the most used material in the creation of Pavone jewelry. Galalith is made from the casein of milk hence its name, "gala" (milk) and lithos (stone). Discovered at the end of the 19th century, it is the ancestor of plastics. The work of galalith is similar to woodworking for cutting and sanding but also requires different impregnating and polishing phases to give it a shiny and deep iridescent silky appearance. Galalith has the immense posibilities of being colored in an infinite palette of bright or soft hues, light or dark. Each item is entirely handmade and requires up to three weeks of work for its realization. The magic Marie-Christine puts into her galalith items, the liveliness it brings is her trademark, they cannot be mistaken. The creation of Pavone jewels began more than twenty years ago, trends and styles mixing old and new. Each item is signed and has a name; it is a unique and rare jewel, that can bring a very personal and original touch to your outfit. Please treat your jewelry with care and do not drop it on hard surfaces. Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions and sunscreen as they may dull or damage the galalith and surface decoration. Note that colors may not allways be captured right in a photograph and can appear very different on different screens. If you have any doubts or questions, please ask before ordering to avoid disappointment.
