More details : First introduced in the first half of the 20th century, Saint-Vincent jewelry quickly became a hit in and around Digne-Les-Bains. This success, which lasted for a century, can be explained by its good-luck properties, enveloping the wearer in magical circles. They are formed from pentacrines, which are five-pointed star-shaped fossil segments from the "stems" of crinoids, commonly known as sea lilies.
