“THE CHOCOLATE & OLIVE GRAPEVINE NECKLACE & EARRING SET”

……………………………..I love to offer you unusual combinations of colors that you would never find anywhere else in clothing and jewelry. The GRAPEVINE necklace and earring in the OLIVE PEARLS & CHOCOLATE FACETED METAL BEADS is such a combination. Did you buy anything in OLIVE, LODEN, ESPRESSO or CHOCOLATE this season, or do you already own clothing in these colors? This necklace will be the PERFECT COMPLIMENT. It is a wonderful BIB DESIGN and the perfect neck filler without any bulk at the back of the neck. As you can see the necklace on both the new Camo Blouse and Dk. Chocolate V-neck Moss Crepe top works on both prints and solids. The Earring can be worn with the necklace, but is also a wonderful separate piece of jewelry, and stands on its’ own…When you want an earring that is simpler wear my CHOCOLATE HOOP which is part of my set of 4 “CLASSIC” hoops…..The Grapevine finishes the outfit off in the most perfect way! Where can you find anything so unique and interesting? You know women are going to give you admiring glances, and some won’t be able to help themselves by asking “where did you get that?”…………………………………………….enjoy…………………..much Love……………………..Louis

“THE MULTI & ANTIQUE GOLD VICTORIANA”

………………………..The MULTI VICTORIANA PENDANT, J482810, and the EARRING, J482808, were once part of my Anne Klein collection…..They were inspired by estate jewelry from the Victorian period. Bows were quite often worked into the designs of simple and/or very elaborate necklaces, brooches and earrings………..Pierced work and enamel were often used to decorate Victorian jewelry also……..I have utilized both techniques in the creation of this jewelry. The earring is exactly like the pendant….only a mini version. In the the close up you can see the intricate metal work. There is delicate metal “bead” work defining the top and bottom sections plus the center of the bow. The bow itself has rib work outlining the edges of the bow, and the center sections of the bow are pierced……Then there is the beautiful enameling……Some enameling looks painted on and very thick and opaque, but real true enameling was originally done with melted glass, so the effect was translucent. It catches the light, and as the light passes through the enameling it shows off the beautiful colors. There are many colors in the enameling, and you will have a good time examining the pieces and finding all of the different colors. The chain has color faceted beads stationed through out…The earring only comes in a PIERCED VERSION, and it is light and comfortable to wear…….The pendant comes with a beautiful chain. Each ring of the chain is doubled adding more texture and looking like the edges of the bow……………..The antique gold finish truly makes these pieces look like authentic ESTATE pieces of jewelry….If you don’t tell no one would know. These also make beautiful presents……something very different and very unexpected……This time I think the photos on QVC are very good and show the details well…….They are avail right now on the QVC Linea jewelry site…………………enjoy…………………………..much Love………………………..Louis

THE BLACK & ANTIQUE GOLD VICTORIANA”

……………………………Queen Victoria, after her husband Prince Albert died at an early age, only wore black until she died. Many pieces of her jewelry were black also……Black Jet and Black Enameling were pieces of jewelry that she often wore. She made them very popular…..The Victoriana pieces above are enameled in BLACK with the antique gold……..I think these pieces are the most feminine and delicate looking pieces I have done….though they still have a strong presence, which is a hallmark of all Linea jewelry. It goes without saying that these pieces are made beautifully…….I love the antique quality of these pieces….like something you would find in an antique shoppe in London………………………….enjoy………………………………much Love…………………………Louis
