Schiaparelli golden dove brooch. A gilded pewter brooch is in the shape of a Dove carrying an olive branch. Engraved on the back of the wing is the Schiaparelli signature.

This gilded pewter brooch is shaped like a Dove and is identical to the one that Lady Gaga wore during the inauguration of the American President. Birds have long been a symbol within the Maison. The story of the Dove and Schiaparelli begins with Pablo Picasso’s painting “Birds In a Cage”. The bird imagery continued within Schiaparelli’s designs as phoenixes and swallows, carrying the meaning of freedom, rebirth, and peace.
