The Gaïa sautoir is also available in brushed or hammered vermeil.

Gaïa and Thetys: two mythological entities for two particularly desirable winter novelties. As always, Emmanuelle Zysman magnifies metal by enhancing its surface.
The Gaïa sautoir is a sphere of gold or vermeil, finished in a variety of ways: brushed, hammered, set with baguette-cut diamonds.

The voluptuous curvature of its pure, perfect form was inspired to Emmanuelle by a gigantic, eye-magnetizing golden sphere in a staging of Wagner’s “Rhine Gold” at the Paris Opera.

In its hammered version, the Gaia ball, just emerging from the chaos, appears studded with stellar impacts.

In its diamond version, the Gaïa ball tames chaos under a satin surface set with baguette diamonds, like so many gravitational offerings.

In its brushed version, the Gaïa ball, fertile matrix, appears irrigated with vessels, like a fertile field offered to the light of the Sun.

Gaia begat Tethys, the first ocean, populated by sea monsters whose scales now adorn this vermeil bracelet, which may have been cast with Rhine Gold to adorn a modern Lorelei.

The texture of this vermeil rush evokes rather than reproduces tiny scales, giving the metal the appearance of fabric as well as fish or snake skin.
