The Reptilian Luxury suite draws upon the rich and sinister imagery of nightmare—the predation of a crocodile, a woman entangled in serpents, and a dragon brandishing venomous fangs. Made with patinated silver, pearls, sapphires, and emeralds, these motifs become frighteningly beautiful. The use of materials possessing optical phenomena like the luster of abalone pearls or the asterism of star sapphires adds to the illusory, dreamlike quality of these adornments.
