An elegant picture is magically conjured by the radiance of large old-cut diamond drops and the rarity of natural pearls. Every genteel Victorian, including Queen Victoria herself, would dearly appreciate a snake and garland motif adorned with turquoise cabochons, symbolic of eternal love. Ancient myths of past eras are evoked in intricately carved lava and hardstone cameos, awakening a sense of the majesty of the grandest of the Grand Tours of Europe. The ethereal subtlety of pale moonstone conjures poetic verses which reference that mysterious orb in the night-sky.
