These two necklaces feature hand blown glass with a peacock feature and a rose inside them.
Inspired by Victorian mourning jewelry and their fascination with the “object” I have created a modern version. Each RELIC consists of an approximately 1″ handblown glass globe on a 24″ gold fill chain with a spring ring clasp. The Peacock feather is the essence of art nouveau and especially timely now with the resurgence of popularity of Paul Poiret, the brilliant designer who outfitted Josephine Baker among many others.

The workmanship of this rose is exquisite, a window into the past and a sample of the love that went into craft. I’ve left the globe empty in the back so that you can see “behind the scenes” the way that the piece was made.
I don’t know what it is about this choker that I really like.
