Description
Moustique has found a treasure: the crosses of Jean-Pierre Crespin. Discreetly in his house-studio in Le Paradou, very close to Arles, this artist crafts crosses, each one more beautiful than the last, making every piece unique. His father was already creating jewelry for Jeanne Lanvin and Madame Grès, and it was from him that he learned the jeweler's art. It was upon rediscovering his father's marvelous stock that he decided to start making jewelry himself, inspired by the crosses worn by the women of Arles.

The crosses vary in size and composition. No two are alike. This one, made of gold-plated brass, features the chiseled profile portrait of a young girl at its center. All around, there is extraordinary metalwork and 4 colored glass beads. A wonderful piece. The black velvet ribbon measures 60 cm in length when unfolded. The cross measures 10 x 8 cm.
