What appears, to the untrained eye, as a simple swirl is, for the collector, a study in how Hermès translated its saddle‑maker DNA into sculptural gold jewelry.

Founded in 1837 as a harness workshop for the carriage‑driving elite, Hermès gradually evolved from leather tack to bags, accessories, and, by the late 1920s, jewelry. Its first canonical pieces fused equestrian hardware with precious metal, a formula that would go on to define the house’s later creations.

By the 1960s and 1970s, Hermès was exploring bold, all‑gold statements. This exceptionally rare and striking 18k swirl‑motif parure marks a moment of transition: from the language of harness fringe to a distinctly mid‑century abstraction. The design forms a vortex of narrow, leaf‑like gold elements (feuilles), tightly spiraled into a domed rosette. Collectors often describe such pieces as pompons, recalling the decorative knots and tassels found on harnesses and ceremonial dress.

This motif belongs to a broader shift in postwar French jewelry. Houses like Hermès and Cartier, alongside workshops such as Georges Lenfant, moved away from flat, figural designs toward sculptural, almost architectural forms. Here, each element is individually shaped, arranged by hand into a precise spiral, and soldered from beneath. The surfaces are finely striated (or strié), catching light with a soft, fibrous shimmer, while the edges remain polished. The combination of texture and brilliance is a hallmark of the period’s craftsmanship. The entire effect creates a gentle impression of movement across the surface.

Importantly, these jewels belonged to Hermès before the age of overt branding. There is no “H,” no Kelly lock, no anchor chain. Their luxury is implicit, a quiet luxury, and that elegant subtlety is precisely what makes them so compelling today. Equally significant is the survival of the complete parure. Many such sets have been lost over time through inheritance and resale. To find brooch and earrings intact is rare and preserves the original composition.

In the end, with Hermès, it is never just a swirl; even the simplest gesture carries the weight of its origin. And yet, for all that history, the effect is effortless - simply divine.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
