Important caterpillar brooch, convertible into a pendant, in 18-carat yellow gold, articulated with a cascade of blue glass domes surmounted by ruby cabochons and interspersed with gold balls, the animal's head chiseled and the eyes set with blue glass cabochons, signed, circa 1990-2000.


 Eva Segoura's jewelry sculptures present a charming and poetic menagerie. In collaboration with one of Paris's finest jewelry artisans, her pieces combine creativity and technical skill. Flowers, puppies, aristocats, pugs, frogs, pandas—all are handcrafted and set with gems and precious metals. Curiosity, imagination, whimsy, grace, and poetic reverie are all part of the language of this singular designer, a master of playful animals that captivate us with their mischievous refinement.


 Eva Segoura's high jewelry creations belong to that niche of exceptional pieces highly sought after by collectors. The endearing baby cocker spaniel, pink as candy and as good as gold, nestled in its charming basket, versus the little black cat, a diamond-encrusted and mischievous domestic feline, ready to leap from its princess cushion, drawn by the thrill of the game or a desire for freedom, and finally the endearing pandi-panda, a little bear from China straight out of our childhood songs, are the captivating characters in this Vissi d'Arte version of A Midsummer Night's Dream, extended by Alice in Wonderland 's dream with the shimmeringly colored millipede.
