For When Your Stars Align... The “Pleiades” series is considered to be the most magnificent example of astral jewelry ever made by the House of Verdura. Each star represents one of the Seven Sisters of Greek mythology, the daughters of Atlas and Pleione, who changed into stars to escape the hunter Orion. Verdura first created the “Pleiades” brooches in 1940, and in the exuberance of post- war America, these extravagant and unconventional designs found their ideal moment. 667 Madison Ave. • New York, NY 10065 • 212 644 6400 • www.macklowegallery.com
