The story

The house's own collection holds a Two Flowers ring of 1972 and Rubens rings of 1973, the first of a form it has kept reinventing. The open band now carries Frivole flowers, Alhambra clovers, Perlée couleurs and Two Butterfly wings, and on the Lotus ring a mechanism unfolds the petals across the hand.
