Luminous Cocoon Necklace
"Luminous Cocoon" Necklace
from the Chandelier Collection
"Luminous Cocoon" a sensual necklace that will appease your adorned appetite!
This piece was just introduced to my "Chandelier Collection" with a reminisce of an Art Nouveau Style.
The pendant is quite the unique find. A hand crocheted "cocoon" wraps a translucent tear drop glass from Czechoslovakia. The antique pendant is secured to wonderful vintage style brass findings. A lamp work bead is suspended in the brass finding. The assortment of beads are high quality with swarovski and czech glass. The chain is highlighted with tiny seed beads of gold and cream. The necklace is completed with a vintage style toggle clasp for your security.
Chain Length: 18 inches
Pendant Size: 4 1/2 inches
Please keep in mind that all jewelry creations are a combination of vintage and modern findings. Any flaws or wears is the "patina" of the jewelry.
"An Era's Ambiance" Jewelry is a proud creator of tarnished findings and lost jewels that needed tender love and FLARE!
Enjoy!

A Hidden Gift
Available at "The Purple Fern" Shop
(540) 678-1006 Winchester, VA
I realize that jewelry making has filled that void that comes with life's transitions.
I believe that we stumble upon our "hidden gifts" when we are not searching for them.
A "hidden gift" that appears when most needed.

"Le Corsetaire" Mixed Media Painting

"Le Corsetaire"
Mixed Media
This painting was the first completed in the series. It paved the way for "Forever Strong Womanhood" with its illustration of control and power. The clown represents "man" during a time of conformity and restriction. He tugs on the laces of the corset worn by an Edwardian woman who clearly is fatigued, yet hopeful. The relationship between the two is of reluctance and strength. A representation of a time period that emerged into today.
PRODUCT INFORMATION

Signed and dated, beautifully packaged, and shipped securely flat.

The original mixed media painting was painted on illustration board. Acrylic paint, pastel, pen and ink, an antique textile, a vintage stamp, and handmade papers were used in the creation of "Le Corsetaire".
