Unduly feminine.
A focal pendant crafted of filigree agate and sterling silver grabs a glance from strangers. Their eyes focus on the stone, delicate and deep, and then their line of sight trails down the pendant to the anticlastically raised leaf that lingers, somewhere near your navel (they can only imagine) beneath the layers of fabric that cover your skin.
This piece is crafty.
Built to draw and hold gazes.
Made to raise questions and daydreams into thin air, like smoke signals in broad daylight.
It’s not meant for women who are overly modest.
It’s not meant women who are less than womanly.
It’s powerful when worn with intent:
I liken it to a pair of four inch heels with a flirty skirt.
This necklace is made to draw attention to the best parts of a woman: bust, torso, waist, legs, soul and beyond. There’s a shimmer of inner beauty attached to this piece. Expound upon it. Please.
The Unduly Feminine Necklace is built of sterling silver, filagree agate and sexy as hell verve. The stone is set simply in a straight bezel atop a coined baseplate. From the stone setting hangs a length of chain at the end of which is a anticlastically raised leaf, complete with dew drops. A hand crafted toggle closure seals this deal around your swan neck. A hand crafted memento mori, attached to the toggle loop, reminds you to live it up before you go to heaven.
I'm in love with that heavy chain you've crafted for this pretty bauble. (well it's not really a bauble it's much more substantial) Pretty work, as always. And I love how you said this necklace draws attention to the best parts of a lady. I love jewelry like that.
Have a good rest of your day, Plume!
I think about jewelry "like that" ALL THE TIME. I want it to look flattering on you. I want it to emphasize your beauty, inside and out. I want you to wear it and feel like a woman.
What you make embraces us, as we, women, embrace, with warmth and grace.
Id est: I'm wearing a piece of yours right now. I love the way it looks, love the way it feels, love the love that went into its making.
And I loved making it for you.
I'm in love with you all, today. Your support humbles me. And makes me want to wield fire for the rest of my life. Thank you, always, thank you.
Oooooo, that's exactly what it does!! (I have a foxy little thing at home that has a similar spirit…)
THANK YOU!!
For being you, for making lovely things for lovely ladies (and the occasional gent)–making lovely ladies feel even more lovely. Thank you in general… for existing.
Big smoochy hugs and kisses!!
Jillian,
I just saw the Duck.
Oh.
My.
God.
Only from your hands, I swear. Gorgeous.
With love,
Cathy

This piece takes my breath away. I love all of your work, but this is one of my favorites. As a writer, I so appreciate the poetry you weave into each of your creations…
Lovely, lovely! Every single piece you make has soul. And when your work is worn it's like a little bit of your soul hangs out with mine. 🙂
And that duck piece just took my breath away.
Quack quack!
Thanks so much for all of these lovely lovely comments, you wild pack of Sugar Britches!!!
Love you to the point of solar eclipse and back to bright again.

If I could leave you a comment on your most recent post, it would be put on some Blue Rodeo and dance around the room! Jim's honey voice makes everything better (at least for a few minutes…)
nice to know you ~........................................
