You’ll have to forgive the somewhat whimsical title. I have to admit, I’m something of an LOTR case. I confess, I love it — books and movies, characters and settings. So, although I just wrote on one Van Cleef & Arpels design, as soon as I saw this, I just didn’t have a choice. What am I talking about? Oh, just this:
This is the Van Cleef & Arpels Virevolte Necklace. The moment I scrolled through the catalog on the site and saw this, I couldn’t help but think that this necklace would be suited for Arwen and/or Galadriel. The delicate leaves will, in fact, add a touch of whimsy and mystery to any woman who wears it.
I have to confess, I’m beginning to fall in love with Van Cleef and Arpels, big time. I haven’t been struck by a designer so quickly in a long time. Specifically, its the design aesthetic that gets me. It’s so unique, while the craftsmanship is just exquisite.
Mikimoto’s Three Pearl Drop pendant certainly fills that order — and then some. The pearls are cultured Tahitian pearls in eight millimeters, eight and a half millimeters, and nine millimeters respectively. The chain is white gold. The pearls are unquestionably gorgeous. The design is unquestionably both innovative and elegant. This is a breathtaking piece of jewelry, and at $2,200.00 in Mikimoto’s own online store, it is worth every penny.
