It's been a while since we interpreted the medieval and Renaissance jewelry that got us started! Here's a group of pieces whose components are chosen to evoke a set of times and places that shared a certain aesthetic.
This piece pairs plump ovoid freshwater ivory pearl beads with (dyed) bright chrysoprase green aventurine spheres, closes with a decorated brass S-hook clasp, and measures just under 20". This brings you the look of gorgeous chrysoprase at a small fraction of the cost. Due to its simple design and pearls' perennial favor, it's appropriate for a long range of time periods for historical interpretation: the Roman empire, Byzantium, medieval and Renaissance Europe, Victorian times. It's extremely versatile and can also be worn with a range of modern attire.
