Comments on: Exhibition review - René Lalique, Bijoux d’exception 1890 - 1912… http://whipup.net/2007/03/16/exhibition-review-rene-lalique-bijoux-dexception-1890-1912/ handcraft in a hectic world Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:44:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Sue http://whipup.net/2007/03/16/exhibition-review-rene-lalique-bijoux-dexception-1890-1912/#comment-115496 Sue Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:39:03 +0000 http://whipup.net/2007/03/16/exhibition-review-rene-lalique-bijoux-dexception-1890-1912/#comment-115496 Hello Abigail, I too saw this amazing exhibit when I was in Paris in March. I made a few notes in my journal, planning to see--when I had more time back home-- if there was a poem somewhere in them. Now I'm reviewing them, and wish I'd made more careful notes on the written material that accompanied the pieces. What I remember--if I've got this right--is that Lalique would first make a drawing, then do a clay model, then cast a trial piece in bronze, and then do the final piece. Is this a way that jewelers (or at least very meticulous jewelers, or at least Lalique) would work? Hello Abigail,
