The cicada spends years underground before emerging to sing for a single summer—hence its reputation as a symbol of rebirth. In Provence, it has come to represent something entirely different: the very sound of the heat. Our two embossed designs capture the veins of its wings, so delicate they look like lace.
24k gold-plated brass · French brass stamping · Handmade in Nice

The craft
These designs are stamped using an antique die, hand-engraved in steel, using a French technique that has remained unchanged for nearly two centuries. Discover the story behind our brass stampings.
