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

The crosses come in different sizes and compositions. No two are alike. This one is particularly original: made of brass, it features 4 pink pearls and 4 iridescent white pearls, and on the reverse side, it displays lovely chasing work, notably a three-leaf branch. An astonishing piece, as if straight out of Beauty and the Beast... The purple velvet ribbon measures 60 cm in length when unfolded. The cross measures 10 x 7 cm.
