Pairing a Spirit of Strength with Elegant Design

The composed, regal face of the lion is the centerpiece for the Commodore collection. Designed in 18K gold and sterling silver, this line offers centuries of symbolism and strength in an intricate, vintage design, originally inspired by the lions guarding the French Ministry of Defense (Les Invalides) in Paris.

Origin

A legacy of boldness
