These delicate and striking vignettes celebrate the relationship between woman and nature and conjure the untouched American landscapes of the past: pheasants run along the edge of a wood, snowgeese take flight above a glistening bay, wolves and bison wander an endless prairie. Featuring rare 1920's mold-pressed, reverse-painted and foil-inlaid glass and French-Victorian crystal jet beads, rich old found enamels, vintage brass plated with 24K gold, rich white freshwater pearls and ethically-mined gems in shades from root beer to bay green on hand-wrought reclaimed silver and gold. This collection is meant to express our reverence for the quietude of nature, and respect for the safe-keeping of it's creatures. A proceed from all July and August sales of this collection will go to the World Wildlife Fund. Les Historiettes Fall 2008 Little Stories Beautiful new pieces telling stories of Autumn.
