The Long and the Short of it — Sautoirs and other new Necklaces

I told you I was obsessed!  Pictured here are a few of the Sautoirs that I recently designed.  I’m so excited about them as they look absolutely gorgeous on (as do all Dominon of Light Jewels of course) and are fabulous to layer with just about everything!  You can click on the Sautoir Collection at right to see them all.

Among the Sautoirs is “Goddess” — a magnificent rock-crystal amethyst suspended from textured copper chains and a classical gold grape vine connector.  One of a kind.  Very long, very much a statement — very much a necklace for all times, and a powerful stone.  Amethyst is known as “Metamorphisis”, a healer and protector for all levels of body, mind and spirit.  ”Goddess” is available at Kristin Londgren Couture, Los Angeles (323.653.9200).

I used the wonderful large vintage etched copper beads and the vintage bronze beads (finished off with lovely café au lait colored gros-grain ribbon) that made up the  Glimmerblooms to create a 1920’s type Sautoir — very evocative of the Jazz Age and quite contemporary as well.   And another Sautoir also with the Glimmerbloom beads, double chained in copper —very dramatic.  This will also be available at Kristin Londgren Couture. 

There’s also a wonderful double copper chained Sautoir with a lovely cherry red and bronze-capped bead suspended at the bottom, and a Sautoir made with a fabulous copper chain (it will darken with time) that ends in a beautiful faceted smoky topaz. 

On the shorter side—one of my favorites (this is a limited edition, I can make a few more)—a vintage etched copper bead finished with gorgeous gold vintage “crown” beadcaps, antique glass pearl dangles, all on wonderful oxidized chain—doubled and reminiscent of chain mail.  There are also a number of other new pieces including “Leitmotif” and “Far Country 3”.
