SPRINGTIME IN PARIS
By Contributing Editor Mario C. Servin, iPhone Photographer and Traveling Economist
Spring is here?
This little wonder of a snuff box by Victoire de Castellane (of Dior Haute Joallerie) depicting flowers in a coital embrace is now on display at Gagosian Gallery, Paris. The glossy lacquered-silver leaves of the flowers on a heart-shaped jade box, although seductive, leave me longing for spring of the natural variety. This precious little piece brings haute joallerie to the temple of high art. I love the idea, but can't wait for spring to bloom for real!
