Description
A Bespoke Salvador Dali Inspired 80th Birthday Brooch. This large brooch was created using silver and gold set with rubies and diamonds. It also features four silver gilt vintage watch parts. Size: 100mm x 60mm.
The Brooch features a model of the recipient's black and white cat in oxidised silver with a diamond set bib and paws. Its face is silhouetted by a silver ruby set chalice of wine. Together they hint at our Dali expert's age of 80. They sit on a silver branch with 9ct yellow gold ends in the shape of gesturing hands. Along the branch crawl three ants in 9ct yellow gold. A repurposed watch face folds over one of the branches and a silver and 9ct yellow gold narcissus sits above them. Below three beautifully engraved silver gilt vintage watch parts form a face, held in place by 9ct yellow gold Catalan loaves. A silver branch moustache hangs below. The Bespoke Salvador Dali Inspired 80th Birthday Brooch is fitted with a pin and safety chain.
The Dali jewels referenced are:
- The Persistence of Memory 1949
- The Tree of Life Necklace 1949
- Tristan and Isolde 1953
- The Living Flower 1959
and the paintings:
- Metamorphosis of the Narcissi 1937
- The Persistence of Memory 1931
With thanks to the commissioner of the Bespoke Salvador Dali Inspired 80th Birthday Brooch and the Dalí Theatre and Museum, Figueres, Spain.
