Discover in how many jewels this piece can transform!

Once in a blue moon, we encounter a jewel of which afterwards it dawns on us that it could as well be fate that brought it to us.

This French antique cameo necklace is undoubtedly one of those, for when it came to Adin it had lost its purpose due to unfortunate events during its centuries long lifespan: It just couldn’t adorn nor be adorned as a necklace anymore as pieces of the shell cameo were falling apart.

Nevertheless, we recognized its historical value and inspirational allure, so we took up our task to restore the jewel to its former glory, and even beyond. After meeting with Carolien Cuyvers, who is a contemporary jewellery designer-goldsmith and an expert in Japanese lacquer, the pieces of the puzzle fell into place -literally as well as figuratively- and were kept in place thanks to Carolien’s application of the Japanese technique of kintsugi.

As honoured as we are by our role in the story of this unique necklace, we hope its next owner will appreciate all the marks that healed tragedy leaves behind and will wear this unique piece with such pride that together they shine rays of gold through the scars of life.

The Romantic Victorian Period

Experts divide the reign of Queen Victoria, also called The Victorian era (1837-1901) into three periods of about twenty years each; The Romantic Victorian Period (1837 - 1860), The Grand Victorian Period (1860 - 1880), and the Late or Aesthetic Victorian Period (1880 - 1901).

We consider these earrings to be of The Romantic Victorian Period.

This period covers the coronation of Victoria as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and her marriage to King Albert and their love, their devotion to their marriage and to their country are the sources of inspiration for this period. Highly favored (semi-) precious stones in this period are amethyst, coral, garnets, seed pearls and turquoises.

The connotation is obviously sentimental, symbolic and romantic with reminiscent Gothic and/or Renaissance patterns and an abundant use of motifs like anchors, birds, branches, crosses, hearts and snakes.
