This necklace features my pansy sculptures with each of the flowers enameled in a different blend of subtle violets and purples. Rendered like a miniature painting, the silver background artfully illuminates the translucent colors. Slender art deco links are set with tiny clear crystal, creating a delicate sparkling chain. Layered in .925 silver. Length 17" plus 4" extender. Choice of 3 or 5 flowers. Hand made in our Los Angeles studio. Artful and fascinating for yourself or to give to someone unforgettable.
Historical notes...The very word “pansy” is adapted from the French word ‘pensee’—to think or remember. The Victorians so loved pansies, they became the most popular flower grown from seeds. In the post-war 1940, they appeared in jewelry as feminine, romantic style took over fashion, led by Dior.
