BRACELET WITH ENAMEL BARCELONA FLOWER (PANOT)

This bracelet is made of a silver chain with gold plating and enamel drops that give it colour (green or turquoise blue to choose from). In the centre is a round pendant representing a flower, a design typical of a tile found in the streets of Barcelona.

The iconic Flor de Barcelona (panot) tile was first documented in 1906 when the Barcelona City Council decided to hold a public competition to pave the streets of the city and put an end to the mud on them. Five models of hydraulic cement tiles were chosen, including the well-known flower. Until recently the design was attributed to the modernist architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch because of its resemblance to the tiles at the entrance to Casa Amatller (Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona), but studies in 2013 confirmed that it was not the same design.

The Barcelona Flower motif measures 8 mm in diameter and the total length of the chain is 16 cm plus a 3 cm extension (total length 19 cm). Adjustable.  The clasp is a carabiner clasp.

Available in 925 sterling silver with 18k gold plating and turquoise blue or green enamel.
