The Eternal Pearl of Hope

Objets d'Art · Jewelled Sculpture

A pearl rests within an open flower, framed by rising wings above a jewelled seascape.

A luminous pearl rests at the heart of an open flower, its overlapping petals outlined in gold-toned metal and closely set with white and red stones. Two sweeping wings rise on either side, their feather-like tiers traced with white stones, green borders and deep blue accents. Five slender points extend above the flower, each ending in a red-centred, star-like setting.

Below, intertwined stems descend into curling blue waves punctuated by smaller pearl-like spheres. The circular pedestal carries a miniature coastal scene, with gold-toned sailing vessels, palm trees and an architectural silhouette against a deep blue ground. Bands of green and white stones encircle the base, bringing the sculpture's upward movement back to a measured, horizontal rhythm.
