Inktober 17 - “Ornament”.

I fear my Inktober might be slipping into “kinktober” with these last two submissions.

But it’s a true fun historical fact!  For both men and women!

A Set of Egyptian-style jewellery This astonishing Egyptian-style jewellery set was made in London in 1884–1885. The tiara, necklace and earrings are made from gold but they aren’t set with gemstones as you might expect, rather with dried beetles from Brazil! The South American weevil Lamprocyphus augustus has an iridescent green wing case, changing colours when viewed from different angles. Matching jewellery sets like this were known as a ‘parure’.

This was an amazing place to have a shoot today. An empty, 1880′s ocean-front mansion, with the original piano still in the music room.
