The legend of Pierrot and Pierrette began in the 17th century when
Jean-Antoine Watteau committed to canvas two clowns who were later made famous by the Italian Commedia dell'arte. This timeless Duo was then adapted to
French pantomime where Pierrot is a noble and fun-loving clown. He is lonely and in love with the beautiful Pierrette, whose affections run hot and cold.
When his affections are returned, they can be seen sitting together on the crescent of the moon. When she ignores him, Pierrot sits on the moon by himself,
strumming his mandolin and pining for his beloved Pierrette.
In the spirit of artistic mastery and the tradition of Old World craftsmanship, this inspiring
Collection combines the centuries-old technique of Guilloche, a painstaking process which brings life and life to the surface of precious metals, with the
art and expertise of Hard Enamel. The Pierrot and Pierrette Collection is hand-crafted from 18kt gold and .925 sterling silver, and is the first to
incorporate three levels of Guilloche and five colors of translucent and opalescent (white) or opaque (black) hard enamel on each Collection piece. In
keeping with the neutral backgrounds, the Duo is finished in Rhodium vermeil. Each Pierrot and Pierrette piece is set with three VVS-1 Diamonds .016 carats
each, one in the top of the crown, one in the bottom of the barrel and one in the clip. Only 88 pieces of each color are available worldwide.
