DAUPHINE Necklace--Edera Handmade Wedding Jewelry Collection

Description

She wears a powder blue dress embellished with an elaborate stomacher covered with dozens of ribbons in white and silver lace, while a faint smile plays across her lips...
Perfect for a bride, or perhaps just a stroll around the gardens of Versailles, this necklace was inspired by a famous painting of a young Marie Antoinette by the court painter Martin Van Meytens.

*PENDANT*
It features a dramatic, elongated pendant of my hand-made lace--crafted with the same type of real silver thread used in the opulent embroideries of the French Court. The pendant is composed of three separate lace motifs, each dotted with dozens of white and mother-of-pearl-esque vintage seed beads and the daintiest powder blue flowers, hand-crocheted in cotton. Each flower is embellished with robin's egg blue amazonite stones and has a sparkling vintage rhinestone in the center. The large, central lace motif is further enhanced with a mixture of grey iridescent freshwater pearls, faceted quartz crystals, and a bouquet of silver edged blossoms.

Measuring a stunning 4.75" (12.1 cm) in length, the pendant ends in a freshwater pearl drop strung on sterling silver wire and accented with hand-crocheted bead caps in real silver thread. Beneath this hangs a gorgeous vintage rhinestone tear drop.

*CHAIN*
The hand-linked, sterling silver chain is dotted with round aquamarine stones, alternating with links of amazonite and freshwater pearls. Like the pendant's drop, the pearls are embellished with hand-made lace bead caps of real silver thread, dotted with vintage seed beads, and flanked with dainty amazonite rounds. The necklace measures 16" ( 40.6 cm) in length, and gracefully drapes around the collar bone.

*CLASP*
The Dauphine necklace fastens with a large, easy to use lobster claw clasp of sterling silver, and is adorned with a large freshwater pearl drop.

*PACKAGING*
All purchases arrive in a complimentary giftbox and green velvet pouch, with information on Edera Jewelry.
