    Perfume - a new necklace

    Each one of us - artsts - wishes to create a perfect piece, such that would make people speechless and evoke the desired emotions. Some of us want to achieve this at all costs. Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, the main protagonist of Patrick Süskind's novel, has managed to create a truly divine masterpiece, but the effect of his work proved to be as tragic as whole Grenouille's life.

    The idea of this necklace was born in my mind within a split second, but making it was really time-consuming. Large, natural white coral is trapped in a cage of diversly wrapped wires and crowned with a large natural pearl. The shape of the pendant resembles a bottle of perfume closed with an exquisite bung. I've also used some gorgeous rainbow moonstone flat briolettes, opalescent with ice-blue fire, freshwater pearls, howlite, rock crystal and lots of oxidised sterling and fine silver the delicate chain and subtle clasp are also made of.

    Pendant's length: 6.5cm / 2.6''

    Necklace's length: 72cm / 29''

    Thank you :)

    Absolutely Beautiful and definitely unique (in my opinion). 

    "Split Second" ideas are the best type of ideas, 3 am in the morning is another good one but the hard part is getting them down on paper because sometimes they can go as fast as they come.

    Breathtaking!

    I don't wear perfume very often, but I would wear this as often as possible. Iza, your creations are gorgeous, I love them, and aspire to be as good as you someday.

    Thank you, girls :) There's a discussion on our Polish beading forum as to the scent that could be associated with this pendant ;) It's so great that jewelry can evoke such emotions and encourage discussions...
