The hummingbird, a source of inspiration

The motif of this piece evokes the hummingbird (Eupetomena macroura). This documentary image connects the jewelry’s design with the animal that inspired it.

How to wear it

With its vibrant colors and graceful flight, the hummingbird is a symbol of beauty, freedom and lightness; it pairs beautifully with neutral tones such as white, beige and black.

Wear it with plain clothing so the colorful motif can take center stage.

Ideal for everyday wear to brighten a simple look, or in the evening to complement an original, refined outfit.

Pair it with a delicate matching bracelet to echo the colors while letting the necklace remain the focal point.
