Spindle 78°North
This brooch is called 78°Nord, after the latitude of Longyearbyen, the village where Capucine stayed during her trip to Svalbard in 2019, when she was studying the glaciers of the North Pole.
After lengthy observations of ice crystals under the microscope, the designer decided to highlight the complex, layered aspect of flakes, to capture in metal the ephemerality of melting ice. The brooch thus symbolizes a flake branch, illustrating this ambivalent nature, at once powerful, elegant and ephemeral.
Made of 18k gold and recycled silver, quartz with tourmaline needles, spinel, sapphires, tourmaline and diamonds.
