The brooch reflects intense shades of blue and green. It is made of a silver plate on which a labradorite plate is held together by a gold and silver set, as well as a gold wire that runs delicately through it. It was a crack in the stone that showed the way for the artist to pass the gold thread.

Jewellery stories
- • Juliette started out by transforming old ethnic jewels
- • Her creations have been featured in various exhibitions
- • She has run her workshop in Athens since 2000
Jewellery design was a true vocation for Juliette Polac. As a child, she remembers buying pearls in a fabulous Parisian shop to make necklaces and embroider fake collars for her family. Born in Paris, Juliette has been living in Greece for thirty years. Her interest in the diversity of cultural heritage is at the core of her work. Inspired by authentic ethnic objects she collects from around the world, as well as by architecture and sculpture, Juliette subtly fuses materials in her own elegant way. Smooth or hammered silver, gold, bronze, are finely worked and sometimes paired with carved stones, such as rock crystal or quartz. Each of her pieces narrates a unique story where past meets present.
