Madame Necklace

Gold-plated medallion necklace, 18in chain with a 2in extender. A medallion like a fragment of the soul, an intimate relic, rescued from the ravages of time. Its irregular edge evokes the beauty of imperfect and authentic things. Its textured surface reveals the watchful eye, from which tears escape, fine and sincere, a vestige of what has been given without counting the cost. Barely legible, one can discern the word LOVE, almost erased, like a stifled whisper of a secret kept for too long. Around the stars twinkle, guardians of the secret, and two small engraved xxs, to speak of love in half-spoken words, of unspoken kisses, of whispered vows. An ex-voto heart, embossed and set with an oval zircon, radiates half-light, like a love in the making, still learning itself. A talismanic jewel, a symbol of vulnerability and acceptance. Love… and let yourself be loved… Because women know how to love. Intensely. Completely. But do they allow themselves to receive that love?
