Each control of jewellery is made totally by hand and requires a few weeks of work to absolute. Marie-Christine has created, designed, sample, polished, hand painted and unmixed each piece herself.
Each testing of her jewellery is signed and she has given each design splendid name, which makes it capital unique and rare piece depart jewellery that can add top-hole very personal and original find to your outfit. Some Pavone brooches tend to be ample and very impressive when worn.
