Antique necklace.brooch and earrings:


I love this set...It has a leaf design and I like organic shapes and textures. The material used enhances the design. The leaves look almost real..The necklace does not look that comfortable to wear though, it does not look like it would sit well around the neck..Maybe because the leaves continue right around so I tend to  find myself wondering how its going to sit like by the sides..its metal so its not like its going to stick out..Oh actually maybe I am thinking of it wrong..because it could be that the designer used little rings to link the leaves so in that case they would be "flexible"and the problem of not sitting on the neck would be solved..If only  I could hold it in my hands...The earrings and brooch are just perfect..they developed the theme in different ways that blend..the flowers and the different leaf design on the brooch..

Dislike:
 Antique Ring:

I find this ring quite creative..It looks like it was designed for someone of importance a Lord or something..It definitely has a masculine air about it..There is something about the design that comes out as too strong..I think the way the ring bend is slim then the design on top is rather big AND has a large stone-(well the stone is large in comparison to the rest of the decorations on the ring except the teardrop "mound" that its in of course)  The overall effect is distasteful to me. I don't like it although I can appreciate certain elements of it. The decoration on  the top side of the ring would have probably looked better as a pendant on a matching chain..
