……………………………This pendant, J387777, comes from the Anne Klein archives, and it is an exact replica. The style is Art Nouveau. Art Nouveau is know for curving patterns, and lines. There were no hard edges or angles associated with Art Nouveau……That look came later with Art Deco in the 20s and 30s. Art Nouveau was very popular starting about 1890, through the turn of the century to about 1910. If you have ever been to Paris many facades of buildings were done in the Art Nouveau style. Even the famous Metro [subway], has beautiful Art Nouveau  swirling arches with the Metro sign at its’ entrance….. The pendant has a large resin, rounded, and bombed disc with an open center, in which the metal swirls are inserted. The chain keeper reminds me of rams horns. The metal decorative stations, on either side, are in keeping with the Art Nouveau patterns. It has a good weight to it…not too heavy, but not flimsy. You know you are wearing something good. This will be avail in Gold and Black [center] and Silver and black [bottom right and left]. The Gold is on the mannequin to the left and the silver is on the mannequin to the right. I have found this pendant to be just the right piece when accessorizing the looks. It’s not too dressy, but it has a strong presence……….This should be avail. this month, but I never know when these on line only items get processed…………….It would make a beautiful Holiday present……………………………enjoy…………………………much Love……………………….Louis

Fratelli Orsini, on Amazon Prime has a wide range of cashmere lines gloves….a beautiful rich red and lots of colors….olive, cognac, grey, brown and all different shades of wine. They are called the “Everyday Gloves”, and are a little less money then the Portolano gloves.

Check out at the Rue LaLa site for “Portobello” [manufactures name], Red cashmere lined leather gloves. The red is perfect. They used to make gloves for me for my shows at Anne Klein in custom colors. I’ve also seen them on ebay and they are probably on Amazon…The red is great, and they do have many colors.

I’ve already heard back from Elaine and she said she will definitely get them replaced!!! I told you she was on the case!!! Now just be patient!!!!

…………………………..I often say that this or that comes from my archives, mostly from my Anne Klein archives….The photos above are from my 1992 Anne Klein Fall look book……If I only saved one of each style of jewelry I had done over my 20 years at AK that would have been a true treasure trove, but alas I never did. What I did save were often pieces Jac wore to special events or pieces she would take away on our many trips…….The black cashmere and span knit dress in the center on Jasmine was one of those dresses Jac wore to a Fashion event. I don’t remember which event, but I know Jac would remember in a second……With the dress she wore the BLACK JET & RHINE STONE FIRE BALL necklace……To another “Red Carpet” event she wore one of the red silk cashmere jersey dresses from the same collection, but not one of the ones above…….I did the Torsade in all of the jewel colors…….Jet Black, Ruby, both shown above, plus Emerald and Sapphire……………………all of which I will be offering to you!……….These are SUPERB pieces that will instantly become collectors items as the original pieces were and are…………I have never seen any of the original pieces sold anywhere…….I hope these make your Holidays a little brighter and definitely more GLAMOROUS!………………………………………………

…………..enjoy……………………………..much Love…………………………Louis
