La Vie Parisienne by Catherine Popesco jewelry collection originates in old Parisian workshops established over 200 years ago. Catherine Popesco has revived France's Art Nouveau & Deco era with graceful and elegant jewelry rendered from original molds and stampings created by the artists from 1900 to 1930. Each piece is painstakingly detailed by hand following traditional artisan methods. Most pieces are made of “old silver” or “14 carat gold”, in a unique French process of layering silver or gold over a copper base. All crystals are hand set and the enameling is done with tiny brushes to exhibit the unique quality of each piece. La Vie Parisienne jewelry are timeless heirloom pieces.
