Does your jewelry truly reflect YOU??? Signature or Statement Jewelry has been documented as far back in History as Cleopatra in Egypt. Normally, Statement Jewelry is a Necklace or Neckpiece as it is the most visible placement of Statement Jewelry.
Many years ago, we attended a Rod Stewart concert. A couple of seats down was a young man who not only looked like Rod Steward but had duplicated his outfit as well……but his manner was shy and receding, not at all in line with his visual appearance. It was disappointing and I felt badly for him. He acted like he was embarrassed to look as he did, which was clearly intentional.
It is the same when one wears Statement Jewelry.
WEAR IT DELIBERATELY or TAKE IT OFF.
As an Artisan Metalsmith Studio and not a mass manufacturing factory*, our Studio prides itself for our STATEMENT COLLECTIONS. This is jewelry around which your wardrobe is chosen to accessorize the jewelry being worn.
A Statement piece may be large or small, but very distinctive in design. Statement pieces are any form of jewelry that stand out while being worn. The Statement can be many different factors (subject matter that grabs attention, materials that are striking, the size, for examples) but the primary focus is the manner in which the piece is worn and the presentation of the person wearing it.
Statement Necklaces are designed especially to your specifications, designing around your Life, Family, Work and Ideology.
If wearing a piece of Statement Jewelry is painful for the attention, please do not wear it.
Below is my favorite statement piece…….the elements may be substituted to suit. you, but the message remains the same.
Goddess of Personal Power
A Powerful Statement piece designed around ornately carved mirror image Lapis Lazuli panels(*), bezel set on a Sterling Silver cut out plate. The Lapis Panels are symbolic of Wings of Power, stretching and reaching out to new Horizons. The Faceted 17mm x 27mm Pink Quartz oval stone is set in a Sterling Silver open back bezel, allowing light to flow through the Head. Radiating from the top of her Head is an Energy Bolt Crown, with a beautiful Baroque Pearl the center of her Crown. Her Pink Swarovski Biollette Dangles represent her light as a Fairy Soul, flying through the Universe’s scattered Stars and Moons. The Goddess is designed to be worn on the solid Sterling Silver half round wire Neckpiece with front Star hangers. (This Neckpiece is a PRM Exclusive basic design to be used with our other front attaching Neckpieces.) *Price includes both the Star Neckpiece and the Goddess of Personal Power. Carved Lapis Lazuli Panels may have a different carved design, based on availability. Please allow a six week window for delivery.
