"Coline"

A "Coline" in French means "Hill", a place of refuge where we can take the height to see what's going down ..


For this necklace, I worked brass (I hope it shows!) (SharonB thank you again!)





I imagined clasps worked, hammered, while wreaths for lightness. Often the metal patina seems heavy, I found this compromise!

The beads are Opals, round, square, beveled ..and 2 green Baroque pearls




I received the medal of the Virgin Mary this morning, it is brass and shaped drop, it inspired me the piece of chain drops ..



a digital image ... (superporistion several digital images)


i translate the little text ok?
"mademoiselle" was a butterfly, what are we now? where our butterflies are gone?
 Heaven is eternal, the butterflies are not,
dreams are forever, mademoiselle  is not"

(something like that LOL)



have a nice day!!! soon weekend!!

Oh Esthernita,

What a wonderful creation. Again you have managed to create a wonderful warm ethereal piece out of cold stone and brass!! Oh and I love all the different links!!! I think your solution of hammering the links to add a bit of patina is perfect!!

How amazing that your digital collage and poem are wonderfully complementary of your beautiful story jewelry. What a wonderful way to ingage the imagination along with the other senses!!

What can I add to the comments of Pattie, Sharon and Vero?? Not much. You are a wizardess, dear Esther, a magician. Fantastique!

Wow! So in love with this piece. So much character! The bright blue is such a good contrast for the brass. And that chain is so interesting. And those leaf like sections on the one side are so unique. Bravo, Esther!

What a sight to visit today and find this STUNNING necklace! A project like this must have taken some time...(well, maybe not for you, "Speedy"!)just the whole layout and thought it must have taken to design...what a complex and gorgeous focal. Oh and the colors and the rustic, hammered wire work. Your ideas just flow so naturally - what talent!! This is one of my new favorites. Will this show up in your Etsy shop??

Have a great weekend, lots of love,
