I picked up the colours of the artwork: rust orange and petrol blue accented with antique bronze stamped components. They are all sitting on a background of jacquard ribbon and silk velvet in the same colour range. There is additional sparkle in the sequins and Swarovski components. The stone is a sediment jasper.
Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (1755 – 1842), also known as Madame Le Brun, was a prominent French portrait painter of the late 18th century. Her work is mainly Rococo with elements of Neoclassical. She was the portrait painter of Marie Antoinette and many European aristocrats. She managed to make a name for herself in spite of being a woman for which artistic training was forbidden in her time. You can see her self-portrait below in the middle. She is one of my absolute favourite painters. I will always recall the emotion I felt when I saw her paintings for the first time in Chateau Chantilly in France.
Aglaé Louise Françoise Gabrielle de Polignac,( duchess of Guiche, married Gramond) was the closest confidante of Marie Antoinette.

| Care & Maintenance | Do not let perfume or cosmetics come in direct contact with the beads and components. While I choose my material carefully and I try to provide the best quality, if not properly taken care of, all beads will change or lose colour or shine in time if exposed to chemicals. Handle the fragile components with care especially the clasp area. Be gentle!
