Extra information: Palomo Picasso: “My jewellery is about a joy for life and a timeless beauty.”

Born in Paris to Pablo Picasso and Françoise Gilot, Paloma Picasso is a true artist in her own right, celebrated for a boldly original style defined by brilliant coloured gemstones. She started making jewellery as a teenager. Soon she was styling avant-garde theatre productions and designing fashion jewellery for legendary couturier Yves Saint Laurent.

In 1979, Picasso was invited by Tiffany design director John Loring to create a table setting for one of Tiffany’s exhibitions. A year later, the designer’s first exclusive collection of jewellery was introduced at Tiffany. (From:www.tiffany.com)
