The Venetian Gondolier

In Venice, where the paved cobbled walkways and the canals sparkle, a solitary Gondolier rolls the gondola past the afternoon sunlight. The beauty of the gondola moving on waters, like hats on water, against the romantic landscape of the Venetian landscape. Did you know that Venetian tradition dictates that couples must kiss under every bridge for Eternal Love? Such is the romanticism of this favorite city of one of the designers.

We designed this tribute to the city called Venezia, the Venetian Gondolier because if you look closely, you can see the form and shape of a gondola. Can you spot it? On a 24" black chain, 2 solid gold letters 'V's, in the classic Baroque Victorian tradition are hung, the smaller V attached to a beautiful quaint black chain tassel. Further along , two delicate freshwater pearls and a larger disco ball like white bead, so termed because of the multi faceted cutting into the bead sparkle in the sunlight. In the center of the chain, we hung a thicker black-silver chain to complete the look.

One Limited Edition Piece only, due to rarity of the letters 'V'.

The Renaissance Necklace

The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life in the early modern period. Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence was felt in literature, philosophy, art, politics, science, religion, and other aspects of intellectual enquiry.

In creating this piece called Regina, we wanted to embody the fusion of two elements commonly seen separately: gold and silver. A union of both colors results in a delicious combination, paired with black, it sets off the colors perfectly. Three silver and gold fish scales-design squares hang on the left of the 24" necklace, while an ornate signed Monet silver-gold brooch hangs on the right of the necklace. We then decided to add a feminine twist to Regina, by threading through a velvet cream ribbon through the upper portion of the necklace, so in effect, you can use the lobster clasp and also tie a lusciously cream velvet bow at the back of your neck. Very stylish for an evening out with your hair up.

One Limited Edition piece only - this piece will not be reproduced.

** This necklace comes in a lovely presentation box.

Momoko, Japanese Gold Fan Necklace

Our maiden creation of the Japanese Series, this is Momoko, named after Mel's close friend who has moved back to Tokyo, Japan after spending her childhood in various parts of the world.

Part of our Japanese Kimono Series, where we pay homage to all things beautifully Japanese and the richness of the culture and heritage- this is Momoko, named after a close Japanese friend of one of the designers.

Momoko is made up of a pair of exquisite Japanese transcription beads hung on a 24" black chain, printed with kimono patterns on each porcelain bead. The print is luscious, if you click on a photo and zoom in, you can see how beautiful the print is. We then paired the delicate beads with a beautiful lusciously spreading rich gold fan with oriental flowers intricately cut out inside the fan. A single gold tassel hands from the base of the fan, adding to the whimisical quality and beauty of this quiet charmer.

One piece only, and no reproductions are possible.
