Description: |
The 60s!!!! When I think of the
1960s, Woodstock, Hippies, and bold colored simply-designed
jewelry come to mind. I was trying to create a project based
on the above but the muse was just not speaking to me. I
began to research costume jewelry and design from the early
to mid-60s and learned quite a bit! Rhinestones and
Swarovski were everywhere along with this wonderful metal
mesh. There were many designers who created wonderful
designs for the general population and the runway. Check out
Hobe, Di Lillo, and Coppola e Toppo to name a few. These
designers were my inspiration for this necklace. Different
components are made to emulate the gold “pillow” beads I saw
in many pieces, stones or crystals are bezeled with two
different techniques and joined with pieces of “mesh” made
with seed beads. The necklace is named for one of my
favorite actresses of the era – Audrey Hepburn and the best
jewelry collector of all time – Elizabeth Taylor. |
