René Lalique was born #OTD (6 April 1860 - 1 May 1945). Since it's also still #BatAppreciationWeek, here are a few of Lalique's many bats!
1. bat anklet c.1898-9; gold, enamel, antique & rose diamond, opal
2. bat ring c.1899; silver, enamel, moonstone, gold
both Musée des Arts décoratifs
Both these pieces were commissioned as gifts for American writer Natalie Clifford Barney (1876-1972), who was openly lesbian; bats were a Fin de siècle symbol of homosexuality. But they were also popular Art Nouveau motifs thanks to Japonisme. Here is another example:
3. Ring c.1901, gold, blue enamel, sapphire
And another, this one paired with another popular Art Nouveau animal:
4. "Butterflies and Bats" pocketwatch, c. 1899-1900; gold, enamel, moonstone.Via Christie's (sold in 2002 for US$207,500)

Playing is one of the ways we can go back to feeling
Just like a toy made of precious materials, my pieces are playful. They can be mixed and matched to create different fantasies with my dolls
I have always thought that cicadas are one of the most magical insects. Cicadas are not particularly pretty in a traditional sense (like a butterfly), the appreciation of their beauty comes from a magical place.
Today I bring to you a cicada pendant, it is sculpted all the way around, just like a true insect!. I can be mixed with one of my dolls to create a fairy with cicada wings. It can be worn as a pendant and earrings depending on the jewelry converter you use or can be displayed just like a miniature sculpture.
This listing is for a cicada pendant with green nanoceramic coating.
It includes the follow:
1. Sterling Silver "Candid Cicada" pendant with nanoceramic coating in green.
