NP EXTASIA Signed Cameo Necklace Hand Pressed Glass Intaglio Lovely Brass Chain

Even with a jean jacket. Especially with a jean jacket! So much fun to wear! EXTASIA Statement Necklace 5 Hand Pressed Glass Intaglio Cameos On Brass Chain. Largest pendant is 1 - 3/4 inches diameter. I'm genuinely obsessed by the Extasia line, wearing it nearly every day. It is uniquely poised and timelessly classic in a world of'the next new look,' and always a conversation starter - with both men and women, which I find interesting. Extasia glass cameos and itaglios are handmade in Europe by a small number of artisans using 100 year old techniques; it is a dying art. The beautiful settings are original designs by Stephanie Freydont (now deceased) and her design team. The pieces are set and assembled in their California studio.

Note: If you have watched the show Deadwood (dark, explicit, Shakespearian, amazing), there is a LOT of Extasia jewelry. At that time, I Googled the show a lot trying to find out who did the jewelry, but no luck. I became obsessed with cameos. I stumbled upon Extasia at a museum shop, and it was love at first sight. It wasn't until recently, on their Facebook page, that I found out that Extasia was responsible for the jewelry I'd been swooning over.
