Royal Heart (1953) by Salvador Dalí. This beating brooch is made of gold, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, aquamarines, peridots, garnets, amethysts, diamonds and pearls, and it measures 8 x 6.8 x 2.1 cm. Regarding his jewelry designs, Dalí said: “Without an audience, without the presence of spectators, these jewels would not achieve the function for which they were created. The viewer is thus the final artist. His look, heart and mind – with greater or lesser ability to understand the creator’s intention – imbue the jewels with life.”
