Colgante estanque con aguamarina

This yellow-gold necklace with a spherical tiger-eye aquamarine stone at its centre is part of Vicente's Object Poem series. The tiger-eye aquamarine gem is set on a bed of gold leaves, next to which hovers an intricate hummingbird. Vicente drew his inspiration for the necklace from a Japanese print by Katsushika Hokusai and from these lines in a poem by Saadi of Shiraz: “In the depths of the sea there are fabulous treasures ... he who seeks security stays on the coast.”
