A lady with a love for literature and shiny things discusses books & bling.
This necklace is very simple and very beautiful. We’ve discussed my love of lavaliere necklaces before, and this one is a lovely example. This kind of necklace is quiet and elegant. I just love the chain of diamonds, and how it looks with the two amethyst drops.
This lovely thing is listed as part of the Bonhams Salon Jewelery auction, Los Angeles, September 24th, 2012. All images and information are thanks to Bonhams.
Happy Halloween!!
We’re going to celebrate in a sugar-free way by admiring Lydia Courteille’s mind-blowingly amazing Santa Muerte pendant.
This gorgeous work of art is made with opals, sapphires, white diamonds, rubies. I don’t think you need me to tell you that the detail is amazing, because it really speaks for itself – just look at her teeth, her ribs, her diamond-studded hair. I would love to know how large this is, but I couldn’t find information about its size. Has anyone been lucky enough to see this in person?

I’m planning to have some fun between now and the 31st posting Halloweenish jewels. You are forewarned.
This is Lydia Courteille‘s Bat pendant from her “Black Mass in Paris” collection. How great a name is that? This fabulous and bold piece is made with black diamonds, druzy agate, rubies and blackened gold.
