………………………………There were many pieces of jewelry introduced in Oct…..One was the Byzantine group which consisted of a double sided cross with cabochon stones on both sides, a shorter station necklace with jewel color beads and gold square stations with color beads inside the gold squares on both sides, and a long necklace with many types and sizes of carved large color beads……There was also an earring that was a THREE for ONE…..You had the square top in gold with a fine rope frame at the edge. Inside the frame was a cabochon stone Then you had two choices of drops to hang from the square top…..A teardrop baroque pearl or a carved teardrop color bead. The earrings were avail in Green, Purple or Red, always with the ivory Baroque tear drop pearl as the alternative. These were all pieces I had done for Anne Klein, and we reproduced them exactly…..except some of the beads in the AK necklaces were real Murano glass beads imported from Italy. We reproduced them in clear resin. Just from looking at them you couldn’t tell the difference. The glass beads were heavier.
These pieces are, and will remain, timeless, as you perfectly well know. I, like all my sisters in Linea, will continue to mourn the loss of your designs and this line, but I have so much of your “stuff” that in the 25 or so years that remain (with any luck at all), in my natural life, I really will never NEED another thing. Now, WANT is something else altogether, lol.
Eye CANDY ! Umm…
