JEAN-CLAUDE BONILLO
1988 Abstract Flame Choker Necklace
A sculptural work of art is this choker necklace by Jean-Claude Bonillo. A French designer who draws his inspiration from the nature surrounding it, so that its sculpted forms evoke almost always the four elements, revealed by fire. A true multidisciplinary artist, jewelry designer, and a brilliant sculptor. He has collaborated with Haute Couture designers such as Yves Saint-Laurent and Nina Ricci. His work is also included in the permanent collection at the National Archives in France.
