Collection concept:

Stories of a Forgotten World

Miniature eye jewelry known as Lover's Eye was in fashion for about half a century. Most such jewelry was ordered to be given as a gift, symbolizing love and fidelity to the loved one. They were very precious and intimate jewelry, the eyes being painted on pieces of ivory the size of the little finger nail, for example. Over time they became more complex,  decorated with precious stones, pearls, gold.

As objects, Lover's Eyes are fascinating, mysterious. And strange. Half portrait, half jewel, they cannot be easily placed in a category.  I imagined a collection of such earie object-jewels, a collection of pieces that give a glimpse of the story it holds inside.
