Gross weight : 33.2 g. Active from the late 1940s, the Atelier Jean Thierry BONDT worked for many jewellery houses, such as Lacloche, Sterlé and Van Cleef & Arpels, establishing itself through the high quality of its designs. Bondt forged even stronger links with Boucheron. His taste for working with hard stones and the texture of gold can be seen more specifically in our pendant, whose materials and size make it typical of the large pendants so fashionable at the time.
