Still designing today Pavone's pieces are instantly recognizable. Each piece of jewelry is made entirely by hand and requires several weeks of work to complete. Marie-Christine has created, designed, cut, polished, hand painted and signed each piece herself and can add a very personal and original touch to your outfit. Pavone jewelry is very good value for money in my opinion, more so than some of the other brooch artists as her items are hand made from original 1920s – 1930s Galalith, Bakelite and Lucite, but mostly Galalith. Galalith was made from casein (in milk), which is where its name derives from – Gala (milk) and Lithos (stone). It is a member of the early plastic and phenolics family and it was invented in the late 19th century. Working with galaith is similar to working with wood, it requires cutting and sanding but also requires different phases of polishing to give it a shiny and finished appearance. Galalith is of great interest as it is an infinite palette of bright or soft, light or dark shades and even color changes in one solid piece. Sometimes erroneously referred to as “French Bakelite,” this substance was developed in 1895. It is odorless, insoluble in water, biodegradable, non allergenic, antistatic and virtually nonflammable. It was produced under other names such as Aladdinite (in the United States), Casolith (in the Netherlands) and Lactoloid (in Japan). Pavone is handmade and imperfections may be present.
