JAR MYTHICAL DESIGN
window, to the “Zebra” brooch in engraved agate, embellished by a royal head garment, Ann Getty’s JAR jewellery collection is the authentic expression of the artist’s first years of exploratory design and includes magnificent examples of his most important creative themes. The most representative jewels of “Twelve Jewels by JAR” include the “Shell” and “Parrot Tulip” brooches, purchased by Ann Getty in 1990 and 1991. The first, shell- shaped, combines rubies and spinel of various dimensions, which evoke the smooth but diversified landscape of the ocean floor. The second is composed of small size faceted rubies, diamonds, and green garnets. As Daphne
