Blue Sapphire Pendant

Christina Lemon made this blue sapphire pendant along with a sterling silver and 14K gold structure. Dangling off of the main chain, there is a second engraved heart, smaller than the bottom one, and a small blue stone hanging from a shorter chain. This necklace displays elements such as line, texture and form. It shows line because all the edges of the multiple shapes, are clean-cut and symmetrical. The engraved patterns and lined texture demonstrate the element of texture because it adds to the physical feel to the piece. This shows form, because all of the shapes are in 3-D form.

Interpretation

In this piece of jewelry, I see that it represents an elegant, yet stand-out type of feel. This is so because, the texture element adds a sharp and sophisticated look and the form is larger shapes, making it come off as a statement necklace. The backdrop of the small chains, then contrasts to a more dainty and sweet feel to the jewelry. This gold pendant also is very strongly representing Christina Lemon's traditional influence of her hometown in Georgia. The long vertical structure, resembles fragile things in nature, the blue sapphire stone symbolizes water, most likely a stream or river drop in this piece. Lastly, the engraved patterns on the heart, seem to represent vines and leaves in a forest.
