Queen Anne's Classic Baroque

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?

Spoonful of Sugar


A simple elegant one of a kind necklace. Ornate sterling miniature spoon in the Baroque style. This vintage spoon pin was once given away with a set of the matching sterling flatware. I have removed the pin back and added a jump ring so it can hang from a modern sterling round link chain. You can find this treasure in my Etsy shop.
