I love this Our Lady of the Stars motif! Here is its version sculpted in glass. Mary, gentle and strong, queen and humble, silent and universal mother. This piece is very demanding to sculpt as well as to gild. In my life as an artist, I’ve often seen that hardship bears great fruit. May this icon bring the blessing of the Queen of Heaven to your homes.

For 25 years, Fleur Nabert has created complete interior designs for churches, featuring liturgical furniture, sculptures, and stained glass. During a major stained glass project, she had the idea of bringing the magic of glass into homes to adorn a prayer corner or an office, giving them the impact of a true work of art. This icon is made of thermoformed glass: the artist carves the design into a bed of plaster, places a piece of glass on top, and fires it at 800 degrees for 24 hours. It is made in the Loire workshops in Chartres. It is then enhanced with 24-karat gold leaf. Each work is signed with a diamond-point engraving and delivered in a protective box with a Plexiglas stand and an explanatory card. The gilding is done on request and takes 6 business days to complete.

From sculpture to jewelry
UNIQUE EXPERTISE
For over twenty years, I have worked with clay, wax, bronze, wood, glass, and gold on a very large scale. I have miniaturized all of this expertise into jewelry, with the same sense of spatial arrangement. A sculpture needs empty space around it to sing; a piece of jewelry is a dialogue between an outer form and the treasure it contains.
