………………………..The MULTI VICTORIANA PENDANT, J482810, and the EARRING, J482808, were once part of my Anne Klein collection…..They were inspired by estate jewelry from the Victorian period. Bows were quite often worked into the designs of simple and/or very elaborate necklaces, brooches and earrings………..Pierced work and enamel were often used to decorate Victorian jewelry also……..I have utilized both techniques in the creation of this jewelry. The earring is exactly like the pendant….only a mini version. In the the close up you can see the intricate metal work. There is delicate metal “bead” work defining the top and bottom sections plus the center of the bow. The bow itself has rib work outlining the edges of the bow, and the center sections of the bow are pierced……Then there is the beautiful enameling……Some enameling looks painted on and very thick and opaque, but real true enameling was originally done with melted glass, so the effect was translucent. It catches the light, and as the light passes through the enameling it shows off the beautiful colors. There are many colors in the enameling, and you will have a good time examining the pieces and finding all of the different colors. The chain has color faceted beads stationed through out…The earring only comes in a PIERCED VERSION, and it is light and comfortable to wear…….The pendant comes with a beautiful chain. Each ring of the chain is doubled adding more texture and looking like the edges of the bow……………..The antique gold finish truly makes these pieces look like authentic ESTATE pieces of jewelry….If you don’t tell no one would know. These also make beautiful presents……something very different and very unexpected……This time I think the photos on QVC are very good and show the details well…….They are avail right now on the QVC Linea jewelry site…………………enjoy…………………………..much Love………………………..Louis
