La croix du Saint Esprit (The cross of the Holy Spirit) by Line Vautrin
Artist
Line Vautrin
Pair of gilt bronze earrings by Line Vautrin, illustrating the Cross of the Holy Spirit.
Each earring is composed of an upper element depicting a stylized dove holding a suspended cross. The latter is centered with a small raised heart — a recurring symbol in Line Vautrin’s work, evoking its intimate and spiritual dimension.
The cross refers to the Order of the Holy Spirit, a prestigious French chivalric order founded in 1578 by King Henry III, whose traditional insignia is characterized by an eight-pointed cross.
A jewel of strong symbolic presence, in which Line Vautrin brings together historical heritage, spirituality, and poetry through a distinctive formal language.
Equipped with clip clasps.
