“THE IVORY “ELEPHANT WALK” PENDANT, TABLET NECKLACE & EARRING”
…………………….It is no secret that Jac and I loved and still do love elephants. They are majestic beasts that have so many human qualities. Sometimes I think if humans were more like elephants this would be a better world…I think the pendant looks like Flora!…..Why the name “Elephant Walk”? I enjoy referencing movies I liked. “Elephant Walk” was a 1954 movie staring Elizabeth Taylor, Dana Andrews, and Peter Finch. It wasn’t a great movie, but I enjoyed it and there were lots of elephants, plus the name stuck in my head. Elizabeth Taylor was her usual gorgeous self!!!.The “ELEPHANT WALK” pendant is the first time I have depicted an animal for a piece of Linea jewelry. It’s been on my mind for a long long time, but it had to be right…..It had to be different from all the typical Elephant jewelry that has been done. The pendant has great relief and dimension….and lots of decorative markings like the way elephants have been decorated in the past. There are also PIERCINGS in the elephant to add another detail. What ever color or pattern you are wearing will show through these piercings. The color of the elephant is GOLD OX. It is blackened to highlight all of the interesting marking patterns……At each side of the head there is a wonderfully detailed gold ox bead, and then a white TABLET bead. These flat tablets are made from stone and each is a different shape with its’ own unique markings. These are REAL STONE, not plastic or resin. Above the Tablet are three more of the Gold Ox beads and above them another smaller interesting bead that finishes the necklace to the Lobster Claw closing with a three inch extender……………If you love ELEPHANTS as I do you will love the beauty of this piece………………………………………………………………………………………..
…………………..The TABLET NECKLACE has EIGHT STATIONS……Each tablet is different and unique. The shapes, markings, striations are all different with each tablet making the necklace even more interesting. Their smooth tactile surfaces and their irregular crude sides all add to the beauty of these tablets. On its’ own it’s a wonderful “white necklace” to wear with so many things. Combined with the “Elephant Walk” pendant is just spectacular, and what you have come to expect from Linea jewelry……The quality is SUPERB!……….There is also a wonderful companion earring. The top has an unusual horizontal oval shape. Then a gold bead, from which hangs a small tablet. Now each tablet will be a little different. They are like snowflakes…..no two are exactly the same……………I have shown it above on the Black scoop neck top in Moss Crepe, and the new Black Status print. On the black the pieces stand out. On the print they blend in and become part of the print……..I know you will have fun trying these pieces with all of the different solid color tops and dresses, and print tops and dresses you own……………..enjoy……….much Love………….Louis
