DOMINIQUE AURIENTIS, Paris Spectacularly Elaborate Yellow Gold Open Irregular Weave Cuff Bracelet Interspersed with Fushia and White Glass Pearls Hand Set in Golden Leaf Pockets as "Flowers"

 

 

AURIENTIS appears to have learned her craft at the elbow of our friend "Coco", the doyenne of costume baubles. Aurientis found inspiration in the theatrical blend of fantasy and drama, as well as the grandeur of the Byzantine period of art. She took these relatively excessive and indiscreet proportions and created accessories with the sophisticated freedom and fashion flexibility that is the core of DOMINIQUE AURIENTIS designs. Aurientis was clearly influenced by La Maestra But she studied directly under ISABEL CANOVAS

 

Here is an openly twined Yellow Gold Plated Metallic Monumental cuff Anchored on each side by a tight link chain The gold heavy wiring suggests the look of a thicket with interspersed placement of Pearl Flowers, Each Fushia or White pearl is cupped by a granulated golden leaf housing. This enormous cuff reflects the epitome of Parisian Bijoux elan. It is a Bright heavily gold plated metal, with the color of 22K Gold. This bold cuff bracelet makes reference to ancient cultures. Aurientis is a student of Art History and her connections to the past are apparent in her avant garde designs. She has taken Egyptian Revival and Art Nouveau to a new fashion precipice.
