Earring pendants: a 2" drop.
Strings of heavy white glass pearls and purple seed beads, accents of vintage lavender glass, deep purple and gold lampwork beads, and gold covered brass make up the necklace.
The center piece is a vintage fur clasp in brass with an amethyst colored faceted glass cabochon. A teardrop faux pearl and vintage wedding-cake lampwork glass bead form a pendant at the bottom of the clip.
The earring pendants are copies of the center pendant with gold post style earrings.
This piece was inspired by the Portrait of Isabella of Portigal by Titian which is owned by the
