So I haven't blogged for a while, even though I have so much to blog about... First of all, I have to say I loved the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Gatsby_(2013_film)">Great Gatsby film</a>, and it gave me the little push I needed to finally create some pearl pieces... Glad to say they have already proven to be a hit in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/amoronia?ref=si_shop">my Etsy shop</a>. The quote is the last line from Fitzgerald's book...<br />

For the AW 2013-14 collection, Maria and Pier, the creative directors of Valentino, drew their inspiration from Vermeer's painting <em>Girl with the Pearl Earring</em>. I absolutely adored their collection, and I highlighted these (photos from Vogue, of course):<br />

I also loved the models' hair and the fact that the only piece of jewelry that could be seen was a kind of pearl necklace. But I would go and combine the clothes with long Amoronia quote necklaces, for sure :)<br />
<br />
Overall, an amazing collection!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">"My
friends, ask gladness from God. Be glad as children, as birds in the
sky. And let man's sin not disturb you in your efforts, do not fear that
it will dampen your endeavor and keep it from being fulfilled, do not
say, 'Sin is strong, impiety is strong, the bad environment is strong,
and we are lonely and powerless, the bad environment will dampen us and
keep our good endeavor from being fulfilled.' Flee from such
despondency, my children! There is only one salvation for you: take
yourself up, and make yourself responsible for all the sins of men. For
indeed it is so, my friend, and the moment you make yourself sincerely
responsible for everything and everyone, you will see at once that it is
really so, that it is you who are guilty on behalf of all and for all.
Whereas by shifting your own laziness and powerlessness onto others, you
will end by sharing in Satan's pride and murmuring against God." (Dostoevsky, <i>The Brothers Karamazov</i>, Book
VI, Chapter 3)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For this necklace I was inspired by father Zosima the elder's teachings, from the Brothers Karamazov. And today it's also a very happy, glorious, sunny day... Perfect! Have a nice weekend everyone :) </span></span></div>

What do you think of the collection? The Byzantine inspiration is obvious, this is amazing art we see here. The religious inspiration I would say looks more like an element of fashion, as the elements that are stressed are those of wealth and luxury, quite the opposite of what religion teaches. Well, I guess people in Byzantium were a lot more secular than we thought! </div>

Hi lovelies!<br />
<br />
Anne Hathaway has won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in the film <i>Les Miserables,</i> at the 85th annual Academy Awards, and finished her acceptance speech with these words: 'Here's hoping that someday in
the not too distant future, the misfortunes of Fantine will only be
found in stories, and never more in real life.'<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
In my opinion, <a href="http://vimeo.com/57307781">Anne Hathaway's <i>I Dreamed A Dream</i></a> is the only interpretation so far that has made it possible for me to connect so realistically with the lyrics. After all, the approach of the film seems to have been to create a visual interpretation of the music, making it sound more real.<br />
<br />
I couldn't help making <i><b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/124474209/les-miserables-earrings-quote-jewelry">these</a></b></i>. <br />

Apart from <i>Les Miserables</i>, I found many films to be really good this year, and I think the results reflected this. What did you think of this year's Oscars? What was your favorite film? <br />

These last few weeks have been rainy, stormy, cloudy, windy or, in the best case dull. So yesterday I was looking outside the window, thinking about what an unhappy day Valentine's must have been for some people. I remembered a book from one of the top shelves in my library, about young Werther. It was in Greek, quite an old publication. And I began to read.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This is the book in its original German publication, the first print, in 1774 (image from Wikipedia). So, I suppose, if I wanted to make a jewelry piece with a quote from this book, it wouldn't be special if it was in Greek, or English. It would have to be in German, the language that Goethe wrote it in.<br />

<br />
This is what I came up with. It is a gold heart locket, hanging from a black beaded choker. The locket reads 'Mein Herz habe ich allein', the phrase that struck me as quite strong and which I felt like using for this piece. The necklace is available <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/123796586/gold-black-heart-locket-choker-necklace">here</a>.<br />

I love it when my customers come to me with a specific idea in mind for a custom order. This was the case a few days ago, when a woman asked me to make her a necklace with three lines from the song 'A Little Fall of Rain', from the musical Les Miserables. You can imagine my enthusiasm!<br />

<br />
Les Miserables is one of the most popular musicals ever, and it is based on Victor Hugo's novel. Here is part of the song which inspired this necklace, trust me, if it brings tears to your eyes, it's normal:<br />
<br />
<i>Eponine</i><br />
Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius<br />
I don't feel any pain<br />
A little fall of rain<br />
Can hardly hurt me now<br />
You're here, that's all I need to know<br />
And you will keep me safe<br />
And you will keep me close<br />
And rain will make the flowers grow.<br />
<br />
<i>Marius</i><br />
But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above...<br />
If I could heal your wounds with words of love...<br />
<br />
<i>Eponine</i><br />
Just hold me now, and let it be.<br />
Shelter me, comfort me...<br />
<br />
<i>Marius</i><br />
You would live<br />
A hundred years<br />
If I could show you how<br />
I won't desert you now...<br />
<br />
<i>Eponine</i><br />
The rain can't hurt me now<br />
This rain will wash away what's past<br />
And you will keep me safe<br />
And you will keep me close<br />
I'll sleep in your embrace at last<br />
The rain that brings you here<br />
Is Heaven-blessed!<br />
The skies begin to clear<br />
And I'm at rest<br />
A breath away from where you are<br />
I've come home from so far...<br />
<br />

If you follow this blog, you know how much I love Narnia. I found this photo of the Snow Queen at a Facebook page, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=497803130240410&set=a.162197233801003.36120.157902307563829&type=1&relevant_count=1">here</a>,
don't know which issue of Vogue it comes from, but I thought the
similarities with the White Witch from 'The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe' were striking! The Snow Queen looks irresistible, but would she be the most powerful? I thought of the 'Deeper Magic' chapter. And then, I made these:<br />

I thought of ice melting, I imagined love entering even the coldest of hearts. Only white opal, with its iridescence and its colorful flashes of pink, green and gold could capture the magic of love and kindness that lies deeper than any other magic in the world! <br />

As December 14 approaches, the day when <i>The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey</i> comes out, I happened to watch a trailer on the Tolkien fan Facebook page. Every Tolkien fan is excited, it seems, and I am no exception. If you want to go to the movie site, where there's a lot to do, it's <a href="http://www.thehobbit.com/index.html#content=trailers">here</a>.<br />
<br />
My favorite image was this:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Naturally, I went back to the book. I wanted to find the exact lines that epitomize the whole book, so to speak. This is what I came up with:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNpccasFs6rcYjDEj6jYptBAIboBkxbEnIOZtnQQbuhqsDgLyvh9HNc2m95HASGppJeUjRl3_FgZkLk6mBwHMBBQ_-DnN7PNDhgr3q0FPCu6t2MI6InZB0_RMZOLSdq5NU9Fw1XtD6Az8/s1600/P1350788p2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNpccasFs6rcYjDEj6jYptBAIboBkxbEnIOZtnQQbuhqsDgLyvh9HNc2m95HASGppJeUjRl3_FgZkLk6mBwHMBBQ_-DnN7PNDhgr3q0FPCu6t2MI6InZB0_RMZOLSdq5NU9Fw1XtD6Az8/s640/P1350788p2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This line is from Chapter 18, from the Thorin's last words: 'There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West.
Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued
food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier
world.' How can anyone beat that?<br />
<br />
These words are so important to remember and so comforting, for when we have lost faith. What an inspiring line to wear! It is a 31 inch long chain necklace, so it matches all the current fashion trends perfectly, and I used a locket instead of a plain setting, to imply that all you have to do to find faith again, is to search in your soul. The treasure is in the soul. If you like this piece, it is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/110360288/the-hobbit-tolkien-locket-necklace">available here</a>.<br />

Metallics are definitely in fashion at the moment, but what amazed me was the presentation of totally gold outfits from Fall 2012. As I look through these images, I can't help but think of Thorin's last words, from Tolkien's <i>The Hobbit</i>: 'If more of us
valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a
merrier world'. If fashion values gold, doesn't that mean that the human race is once more confused about what brings happiness? Food for thought...<br />

Bright-eyed Athena.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
'Glaukopis' Athena means bright-eyed Athena. Goddess of wisdom - and her symbol is the owl. I was reading the part in Odyssey where she reveals herself to Odysseus in Ithaca and I was struck by the use of this adjective, 'bright-eyed', exactly like the gleaming eyes of an owl in the dark. I couldn't resist making these.<br />

The military trend is not something new on the catwalks; this time it's all about the military aristocracy, a camouflaged 'utility' style that comes with rich and luxurious fabrics like velvet, leather and very defined, tailored, stiff shapes. Salvatore Ferragamo's collection may well be the epitome of this.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIZMDMHP7WuXPcIyro_5cUgLK5LUXiZ9P0N_ILA1uBn36aH6EgDaZ57DsB0ai75lVZiS4fxMt9w2JNSb5V3SCVDsgZxfeWdm0LDDdxdJKvpXQjc2CT__QpdO7pIE-rMYF5qSj7c9Ljurk/s1600/00210big-horz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIZMDMHP7WuXPcIyro_5cUgLK5LUXiZ9P0N_ILA1uBn36aH6EgDaZ57DsB0ai75lVZiS4fxMt9w2JNSb5V3SCVDsgZxfeWdm0LDDdxdJKvpXQjc2CT__QpdO7pIE-rMYF5qSj7c9Ljurk/s640/00210big-horz.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Salvatore Ferragamo</i></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Especially look for details like belts, several styles of military collars, military style buttons and also epaulettes. Victoria Beckham did a great job of adding these without being over the top.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4BI36Ss9vkgPwYg6wccaHpiWRcIjoouoqO4sWxpCipXDiSLlytwCxmBGfOtpUXRFu1NgwOAvHlvp6VDVzQ7yItvMyfLsMvbfl4c1kKk_fhqOlFjisR3FkHryEPkBh_i2rZSvgmkyP4e4/s1600/00030big-horz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4BI36Ss9vkgPwYg6wccaHpiWRcIjoouoqO4sWxpCipXDiSLlytwCxmBGfOtpUXRFu1NgwOAvHlvp6VDVzQ7yItvMyfLsMvbfl4c1kKk_fhqOlFjisR3FkHryEPkBh_i2rZSvgmkyP4e4/s640/00030big-horz.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Victoria Beckham</i></div>
<br />
<br />
Still, this trend may look like utility, but let us not fool ourselves: It is definitely very rich and luxurious, like a high rank statement in itself. See the alligator and the double faced cashmere in Max Mara, for instance:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhviHBYl9Pvx4MC1pT6KNnWS8hcFhhr6klYUK8LMgwzEoYjtfjYjXPuUYXOf5ozbIwyTZAOJ_asuuhit7N4JKZVcRdGbtXeZRxWT7cCiLV32BICKgeIs2MCA46cgI-rBYBEvB7TXi0zgAI/s1600/00120big-horz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhviHBYl9Pvx4MC1pT6KNnWS8hcFhhr6klYUK8LMgwzEoYjtfjYjXPuUYXOf5ozbIwyTZAOJ_asuuhit7N4JKZVcRdGbtXeZRxWT7cCiLV32BICKgeIs2MCA46cgI-rBYBEvB7TXi0zgAI/s640/00120big-horz.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Max Mara</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
You may even consider combining elements of this trend with ethnic references, just like Joseph Altuzarra did. I especially noted his cargo pants, his military coats, and the practical, pleated military skirts, with some actual room for legs to walk, all these combined with amazing sweaters and luxurious, python over the knee, leather boots.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbape81PKldLennxuhnh62Ho6OjFk8Tvai7zvpfqma0PBuUrjvE7b1pSojkoYDJAB8vQcLG0qIu3TE0u22uao_P_1VeUzs-o6WdLlmyWlCJAH2lNA6gQDbUmNj79ZfTs0AdvaD2V62IfE/s1600/00070big-horz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="444" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbape81PKldLennxuhnh62Ho6OjFk8Tvai7zvpfqma0PBuUrjvE7b1pSojkoYDJAB8vQcLG0qIu3TE0u22uao_P_1VeUzs-o6WdLlmyWlCJAH2lNA6gQDbUmNj79ZfTs0AdvaD2V62IfE/s640/00070big-horz.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Altuzarra</i></div>
<br />
<br />
Whether you like this trend or not, always keep in mind that it's not only about what we wear, but also how we wear it. Having a look at the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search?q=egst&view_type=gallery&ship_to=ZZ&min=0&max=0">items of the EGST shops</a> might help. Until next time, I salute you!<br />

In a room—empty, small, four walls only,<br />
covered with green cloth—<br />
a beautiful chandelier burns, all fire;<br />
and in each of its flames a sensual fever,<br />
a lascivious urge, glows with heat.<br />
<br />
In the small room, radiantly lit<br />
by the chandelier’s hot fire,<br />
no ordinary light breaks out.<br />
Not for timid bodies<br />
the rapture of this heat.<br />

Keeley and Philip Sherrard. Edited by George Savidis. Revised Edition.

<br />
A few weeks ago I discovered some links from a vintage gold gilt chandelier. They were bright gold and just way too beautiful to be thrown away, they had this wonderful palmette decorative motif, so I put them inside the box for when the inspiration would be right. And a couple of days ago, I came across this poem by Cavafy, called 'Chandelier'. If you read Greek, here it is in the original:<br />
<br />
Σε κάμαρη άδεια και μικρή, τέσσαρες τοίχοι μόνοι,<br />
και σκεπασμένοι με ολοπράσινα πανιά,<br />
καίει ένας πολυέλαιος ωραίος και κορώνει·<br />
και μες στη φλόγα του την καθεμιά πυρώνει<br />
μια λάγνη πάθησις, μια λάγνη ορμή.<br />
<br />
Μες στην μικρή την κάμαρη, που λάμπει αναμένη<br />
από του πολυελαίου την δυνατή φωτιά,<br />
διόλου συνειθισμένο φως δεν είν’ αυτό που βγαίνει.<br />
Γι’ άτολμα σώματα δεν είναι καμωμένη<br />
αυτής της ζέστης η ηδονή.<br />
<br />
(Από τα <i>Ποιήματα 1897-1933</i>, Ίκαρος 1984)
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then it suddenly struck me. I had the finished piece in front of me in a few seconds. And I got to work.<br />

I think <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/108161048/black-gold-statement-necklace-chandelier">the result</a> looks sultry and provocative, just like the poem is. I love how an architectural salvage, like this chandelier chain link, gives this piece its character and is then quietly complemented by the black brass chain and the black Czech glass bead. Its provocative element is thus even more stressed! 'Not for timid bodies' indeed...<br />

'The crownlass again shall be king' is the last line of the famous Tolkien poem from The Fellowship of the Ring. This
necklace is very versatile. You will want to wear it every day, because
it's such a precious thought to be carrrying with you always, but it may
also serve as a great piece to wear with a wedding dress. After all,
one of the meanings of a wedding is that the couple is actually made
King and Queen in their own home, which is interesting!<br />
