These unique pieces of Art Nouveau-inspired jewelry were created by Annelies Schroder of Delft, the Netherlands. The silver necklace (top photo) echoes the organic, flowing lines of nature, celebrated by the Art Nouveau movement. But the green stones and rough, unpolished crystal drops give the design a modern edge.
The pendant necklace opens to store a love note or emergency cash. The decorative silver band around the center is enhanced by a blue topaz and moonstone and may be worn as a ring. A small moonstone-and-silver half-moon amulet dangles from the pendant's base.

An abundance of goodwill
Thank you for the many lovely, thoughtful messages while David has been hospitalised. Your kind comments, emails, good wishes and heartfelt prayers have meant more than you might imagine. Last week was spent in crisis mode; thankfully, David is better now, in the sense that treatment is underway.
The road ahead ventures into unmapped territory. But thanks to brilliant doctors and excellent medical care, we remain optimistic.
Thank YOU for your support and encouragement! I have tried to reply to most messages, but if you haven't heard from me yet, please forgive the delay.
So glad to hear about David...I think of you often. When I take off my favourite earrings and ring...I put it in the beautiful white cup you gave me when we first met in Paris. Sending good thoughts and continued prayers your way...

Lovely pieces of jewelry. I especially was drawn to the first piece. She is a beautiful artist.
So glad David's treatments have begun and I have great belief in total healing. I will be continuing to pray for that.

The jewelry is exquisite! You captured the shine and depth of silver, my favorite metal.
Glad to hear that things are better this week. It sounds like you have very good care there and that is a wonderful thing. Keeping you both in my thoughts and meditations,
Helen

The good vibes keep coming. Meanwhile, thanks for sharing such lovely pieces. Hearing they were from Delft made me smile! I'll need more time there, shall I be lucky enough to visit again!
I hope you can visualize that pendant opening with good wishes and prayers spilling out in abundance for you both. Sending love, j
