I have an seemingly endless list of youtube documentaries to play while I make jewelry (I like to save my music playlists for driving ;-P). I think sometimes this tends to spark ideas and creations, and many of them recently have been on innovations, fashions, and other randomness from the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

Art nouveau has always been a style that I’ve been drawn to ever since I could remember, and I think the beautiful curving and organic lines are characteristics that were the primary inspiration for our new necklace “After Hours”:

Like many of our necklaces, this design has a removable back-piece that allows the necklace some versatility with dresses and styles.  The two small swoops of crystal fringe add a little bit of eye-catching movement to the back detail.
