A poppy-inspired jewel brooch

The Agnès brooch finds its inspiration in the ephemeral beauty of the poppy, a flower that symbolizes memory, peace and resilience. This unique model captures the delicacy and timelessness of the flower, bringing a refined touch to every detail.

A rich and fascinating history

The poppy has a deep history, both around the world and in France, where it embodies fragile beauty, tranquility and memory. Native to Asia Minor and India, it has been used in various ancient civilizations for its medicinal virtues. In Greek mythology, it was associated with Hypnos, the god of sleep, symbolizing rest and forgetfulness, while among the Romans, it represented the sweetness of sleep and inner peace.

In France, the poppy, especially in its form of coquelicot, has become a symbol of remembrance for soldiers who fell during the world wars. Popularized by the poem "In Flanders Fields", it is now worn during November 11 ceremonies to honor veterans.

The poppy has also found its place in French art and culture, where it is seen as a symbol of the ephemeral beauty of life. It was widely depicted in the 19th century, notably by Impressionist artists such as Claude Monet, who immortalized its vibrant beauty in their works.

Resonating with the fragility and resilience of the poppy, the Agnès brooch stands out for its refinement and unique craftsmanship. It captures the spirit of the flower, adding a touch of serenity and elegance to your style, while paying homage to the timeless beauty of this symbolic flower.

How to best preserve your Agnès brooch:

• Avoid shocks and friction: Resin can be sensitive to scratches. Store your jewelry brooch in a soft pouch or box when not worn.
  
• Keep it away from heat: Resin can warp under high temperatures. Avoid leaving your brooch in places that are too hot, such as in a car in the summer.
  
• Avoid excessive humidity: Although the resin is durable, prolonged exposure to humidity can alter its color. Store it in a dry place.
  
• Clean it carefully: Use a soft cloth, slightly dampened in lukewarm water if necessary, to remove dust without risk of scratching.
  
• Avoid perfumes and lotions: Apply your cosmetics before putting on your brooch to avoid any contact with the resin. The same goes for household products.
  
• Avoid the sun: To preserve its shine, avoid exposing it to the sun.
