Description

An icon of dangerous female seductiveness, Salome is emblematic of the femme fatale, a fashionable trope of Fin de Siecle decadence. More than merely the dancing girl who extorts a cry of lust from an old man by the lascivious contortions of her body; who breaks the will, and masters the mind of a King by the spectacle of her quivering bosoms, heaving belly and tossing thighs; Salome has risen (if we can quite put it so eloquently) above all these to be revered as the symbolic incarnation of world old Vice.

The spotlight now shines upon said alluring movements as we proudly present The Dance Of The Seven Veils, Starring Salome.

I've endeavoured to portray every nuance of lust-inciting sensuality and fiery desire the world has come to associate Salome's performance with, into this magnificent neckpiece.

My magnum opus exudes an air of undeniable eroticism as precision-faceted Rondelles of Rubies, Pink Sapphires, Whiskey Quartz and Pink Amethyst twine and intertwine along and around one's decolletage. Polished Nuggets of Honey Topaz and Pink Sapphire suggest an air of nonchalence even as Spessartine Garnet Briolettes infuse spurts of wicked colour.

Unapologetically flamboyant, the pendant is truly the wire-wrapped counterpart to all things sensual and beguiling. Fasten your sights upon those curvaceous whirls and twirls. Feel the stirrings of desire within you to possess those beautiful gemstones that which beckon and call you.

Prominently festooned with an Opal set within a 14K Solid Yellow Gold Bezel, a single smooth pebble of Honey Topaz kickstarts the crowning glory of this visual depiction of moral turpitude.

Hark!! Heed the siren song of that ENTRANCING Whiskey Quartz Focal whose vital statistics of 50mm and 131 Carats make one oblivious to all else.

Cavorting alongside it are decadent trims of BLACK DIAMOND BRIOLETTES, Orange Sapphires, Rubies, Pink Sapphires, Spessartine Garnets, Pink Amethyst and more Whiskey Quartz.

Rational thought is futile.

As evidenced from the snapshots, Presenting "The Dance Of The Seven Veils", Starring Salome, is as diverse in her applications as she is in disarming the enemy. Wear her closer to the neck or dangling low or wrapped around twice for a layered look. Measuring 22" with an extension chain proferring adjustability options up to 30", Presenting "The Dance Of The Seven Veils", Starring Salome can (in truth) be hooked at any point. You call the shots.

Her focal stands 7" tall sans the crowning Polished Topaz Nugget, 8.75" with. All wires used are a combination of 925 Sterling and 999 Fine Silvers.
