Description
(2015), 2.5" x 1.5" for the pendant, Silver Art Clay (cut, molded, carved, fired, brushed andΒ antiqued), vitreous enamel, garnet rosary chain, silver wire, garnet beads, garnet briolette, clasp findingGot a whole bunch of garnet rosary chain and decided to make some nice projects with it.
This one reminded me of something Drusilla from BTVS might wear. As Spike told Buffy's Mum in Season 3: "So, we got to Brazil, and she was... she was just different. I gave her everything - beautiful jewels, beautiful dresses with beautiful girls in them, but nothing made her happy. And she would flirt! I caught her on a park bench, making out with a chaos demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers. They're disgusting."

Thank you. Love me a bit of morbid Victorian from time to time...

Another piece for Mucha to envy!Β I normally dislike faceted garnets--I tend to prefer semiprecious stones to just be polished ovals or circles--but the faceted drop and beads really compliments the intricacy of the scroll work and the chain links.Β Not being a Buffy buff (forgive me), my first thought was of pomegranates and Persephone.Β I can easily envision Rossetti's "Proserpine" (one of my all-time favorite paintings) wearing this, shining against her pale skin, framed by her dark green dress and mass of hair.

Thank you! Yes, it could definitely be a Victorian/ Preraffaelite piece as well. I love the association of garnets and pomegranate seeds. It's such an apt representation!
BTW, I have Rosetti's Proserpine hung in my bedroom... Since my PhD was based on Rossetti's art it's still a big thing around the house. At the time, even Greg became a fan, because when we first dated I was just immersed in catalogs, photographs and photocopies on index cards.... So when we started decorating it was Rossetti posters all around!

You're a woman after my own heart!Β I also have a framed version of "Proserpine," albeit a small one.Β Nicholas can't stand anything by Rossetti (one of his few flaws), likes 75% of the PRB's work overall, and loves Sir Alma Tadema and Jacques-Louis David.Β At this point, we've accepted that our domicile is always going to have a Victorian study/hodge-podge look to it!

Well, with Tadema and David, he's half-way redeemed. Now if he can put up with Burne-Jones and Morris, he'll do just fine!

Thank you! I loved the retro look of the rosary chain in the assembly.

Oh yes, indeed, I can just see Drusilla (definitely one of the creepiest characters in BTVS!) wearing this!

So beautiful. Red and Silver is such a wonderful combination.

Thank you, I agree. I was off red for a while, really into blues, greens and earth colors. But I think it's growing on me...
