I would like to think this necklace would have looked just stunning on Queen Anne...however if you notice she is lacking a fancy adornment, could it be she just could not find the "right" piece to go with her outfit. The Baroque era, a favorite of mine, where the arts flourished in ornate, intricate and grandiose style. With Queen Anne in mind and the age of opulence, I created this plum colored delight. I am very pleased with the simplicity and elegance of this piece. 
I would love for a day or so to be transformed into that time and place where I could gaze upon all the fine art, jewels,hand woven fabrics and hand crafted furniture. How amazing that would be. However I would be back in a flash for my hot shower, toothbrush and indoor plumbing...and this girl is not wearing a corset! What is your favorite era? What fascinates you about that time in our history?
Judy, I took an Italian Baroque Art History class in college that was great! The instructor spoke as if she were a travel agent and I knew one day I'd be in Italy. I did go a couple of times in the last five years and what a treat. Queen Anne definitely needs your necklace. Where's a time machine when you need one?!
ReplyDeleteJudy, that lock piece is gorgeous and you have complimented it perfectly with your bead selection.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful necklace! The keyhole is the perfect centerpiece. Is it old or new? I'm a romantic Victorian at heart.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, this piece is fit for a queen for sure. Simply stunning! Love the lock and the purple.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous again Judy!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a fav time, I like all old things!
