About this Product
Show her the depth of your love and appreciation with this thoughtful gift of a romantic love bird broken china jewelry necklace from eclectiQuas. This exquisite blue and white china necklace features a fine sterling silver chain, and a unique china pendant handmade from a vintage Blue Willow china plate, and a round sterling silver setting with a single freshwater pearl dangle. What makes this a romantic 20th wedding china anniversary gift, Christmas gift, birthday gift, or Valentines Day gift, is the symbolism of love birds. Since the Middle Ages, no animal has represented love more than love birds. In Greek mythology, the dove is associated with Aphrodite/Venus, and she is often depicted with doves in paintings and scripture, reinforcing that association with love and monogamy. The male doves help mother doves care for their young, and all are inspired by that devotion and act of love. With its intricate Blue Willow china motif of these soaring love birds, as well as a deep symbolism and meaning, this blue Transferware china jewelry item makes a special, romantic and memorable gift for vintage chinoiserie, Blue Willow, and blue and white china lovers alike.

Meet the Maker
Hailing from the worlds of fashion design and apparel manufacturing, set and costume design, Fine Art and the creation of her own biomorphic wall sculptures, Erika Garell, couldn’t be more excited about her newest creative adventure, eclectiQuas.
eclectiQuas style was born from a diverse combination of Erika’s artistic interests and cultural influences. Over the course of her creative life, Erika has developed a unique bicultural aesthetic as a half Japanese, half British-American woman, that she embraces in her work as both an artist and designer. Erika has always been fascinated by the Japanese and English sensibilities as they relate to chinaware, and in particular, the crossover of the two aesthetics through Imari china.The rich colors, unlikely color combinations, intricate patterns, use of gold and silver, and beautiful composition of each plate influence the design and uniqueness of each piece of eclectiQuas jewelry.
Erika is excited to participate in the goimagine marketplace by contributing to and learning from this talented community of handmade artists and makers, while embracing and supporting goimagine's mission to support charities that prioritize children in need.
