plated setting in a diamond filigree design (difil) not visible in this
picture. Butterfly embellishment.
Designer's comments:
"Visually,this is a stunning piece because not
only is it so attractive but at the same time so very unusual. For this
design smaller flowers are selected to keep it compact. In this
particular picture the ivory orchids are from a mutation whereby the
end of the petals, only, have a curled heart shape whereas the sepals
remain pointed giving such a unique textural and aesthetic effect."
"Practically, because the flowers cover the
setting rather fully, the wearer has to be a little more careful on
putting it on or removing it, to avoid crushing the orchids. In
practice it is not difficult to feel behind them to hold the setting
but this is not shown in the picture. All the comments with item OSP1cn
about the ease of stickpin attachment without the bother of safety
catches apply here too."
Size : Setting 6cm x 1.5 cm (approx. 2..5" x .05"). Flowers protrude beyond the settings.
Colors:Any combination any two of Lavender, Purple, Yellow, Ivory. The picture shows two ivory flowers with a butterfly in the center.
