There are adventures ahead for this ring! Each month for the next 12 months, a different person will have this ring. I have it for the month of November where I'm taking it to the Yucatan to play on Mayan Ruins! You can follow the adventures of the #wanderingagate if you follow me on Instagram!
One non-bird related piece from Pierre Sterle' that didn't go into the blog. Enjoy!
Man Consumed by Flames. Ham House Image. By Isaac Oliver 1610. Latin inscription literally translates to: He who does not burn grows cold."
One of the most famous of Nicholas Hilliard's portrait miniatures Young Man Amoung Roses
Portrait miniature by Nicholas Hilliard of the Elizabeth the Queen of Bohemia, Daughter of James I. Not included in the recent blog even though I imagine that this is what Diana in the book Shadow of Night looks like. See the whole blog and the amazing discoveries of one portrait miniature by going to www.JewelryNerd.org
Order of the Golden Fleece. 1628 Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest.
I was just reminded of this interesting little aside of collectible jewelry made in part from the Morpho Butterfly. Shipton and Co was granted a patent on using the butterfly wings in jewelry in 1922, but it was Thomas Mott who popularized them at the Great Empire Exhibition in 1924. These little treats are a miniature form of reverse glass paintings with actual butterfly wings in the painting. Jewelry of ladies or children are the most collectible form, but you will very often see tourists souvenirs made in tropical landscapes. They were popular though the rest of the 1920's and into the 1930's.
These earrings from the Museo Archaeologico in Italy (photo from Lessings) display a 5000 year old mystery. Want to know what it is? Check out my latest blog for all the answers!

Vulcanite Necklace and How To Wear it!
1) Victorian love bird carrying two hearts to a beloved.
2) Georgian sepia on ivory pendant of two lovebirds tying a lover's knot. This was most likely a betrothal or wedding pendant as it signifies "tying the knot."
Two Byzantine Bracelets of gold, silver, amethyst, sapphire, glass and emerald plasma (whatever that is. Hey- don't blame me. It's the Metropolitan Museum of Art's description!) These were probably made in Constantinople in 500-700 and they belong around my wrists!
