Description

"How all the other passions fleet to air,
As doubtful thoughts and rash embraced despair
And shuddering fear and green-eyed jealousy!"

The Merchant Of Venice ~ Shakespeare, 1596 - 1598

Ahh, Envy.

An emotion which occurs when one covets another's quality or possession. That sensation of invidiousness which (often) culminates in the surfacing of a green-eyed monster. And whilst envy is generally perceived as something negative, it can also propel a person to achieve self-betterment.

Envy can *indeed* be a driving force: it's just a matter of personal choice as to whether one turns right or left at the emotional crossroads.

L'invidia di una Donna (Italian for The Envy Of A Woman) is a stage for my reenactment of the envious vibes I sense around me. Be they mine directed at others or the other way around, it really doesn't matter ... this neckpiece was designed as (what I hope to be) a positive, visual representation of E.N.V.Y.

Set to turn beholders positively green with envy, the pendant is a lavish composition of swirls, twirls and whirls in, yes you've got it, shades of Green peppered with touches of Yellow as well as flashes of Silver Black.

My starring cast includes Brazilian Neon Apatite, Mystic Green Topaz, Blue Flash Labradorite, Mystic Citrine, teeny weeny Seed Pearls and Mystic Green Quartz with the undoubted pièce de résistance - a stunning Apple Green Peruvian Chrysoprase Focal measuring an enviable 30mm.

With vital stats of 4.5" tall by about 3.25" wide, L'invidia di una Donna and her pendant speak volumes about unleashing the green-eyed monster in onlookers. Drape her around your neck from 20" to 26" by virtue of a pretty large link chain and handmade Clasp set with a single Brazilian Neon Apatite Rondelle. Wires are a marriage of 925 Sterling and 999 Fine Silvers, chains are 925 Sterling Silver.
