Beautiful. As usual!
wow...love it! The fica is particularly unique with those rings..How fab!!! lucky new owner is right. Lynne
The diamond ring was originally there. The pearl ring was missing, but on the index finger you could see that a ring had been there previously. So I had it partly made by a goldsmith, partly I made it myself.
The amulet is stylistically linked to one in the British Museum made of ivory(pic attached), expertized as XVI century, Spanish -- although in my opinion the coral manufica is Italian.
At Costume Society of America Conventions, it quickly becomes clear that clothing and accessories enable the wearer to show off his or her good taste and status -it is the amor we wear to protect ourselves during the battle of daily life. And there is the additional meaning we derive from the symbolism and history in the bits and pieces which hopefully turn a necklace into a complete artistic expression.
