September 2013 ~ Jewelry Challenge ~ "Romance"

The EtsyMetal Team Jewelry Challenge theme this month:
 

"Romance"

 
 Our EtsyMetal Team participants have entered a handmade piece of jewelry using their own interpretation of the theme! 
 
 
 
The Romance Of Pearls
 
 
Romantic Scroll/Love~Note
 
 
 
Pense de moy was inspired by the book "Medieval Jewelry" by Marian Campbell. A major theme was gift giving, where men and women exchanged love tokens. This was frequently expressed with inscriptions, most commonly in French, particularly on rings and brooches. This piece is patterned after the ring-brooches which commonly fastened tunics. I have stamped 'pense de moy' which means 'think of me.'
