Ian St.Gielar Blue Cameo Limited Edition Statement Necklace

A spectacular example of Ian St. Gielar’s exuberant, intricately constructed jewelry, this rare “Blue Cameo” limited-edition statement necklace is an extraordinary work of wearable art.

Multiple strands of richly faceted cobalt-blue glass beads lead to an elaborate oversized centerpiece built with hand-wired seed beads, sparkling rhinestones, dimensional flowers, mother-of-pearl petals and ornate gold-tone filigree.

At the heart of the necklace is an elegant portrait cameo of a woman, framed by layers of periwinkle-blue beadwork, dusty-pink and lavender flowers and brilliant blue and rose-colored rhinestones. A dimensional mother-of-pearl flower creates a luminous focal point below the portrait.

Loops of pale-blue faceted beads drape gracefully across the lower portion of the centerpiece. The design is completed by a large translucent blue teardrop pendant suspended beneath a small pink-and-blue floral element.

The necklace is accompanied by its original Ian St. Gielar documentation card identifying the design as “Blue Cameo” and recording it as limited-edition number 1 of 2,000.

Ian St. Gielar became celebrated for transforming vintage beads, glass flowers, rhinestones, mother-of-pearl and filigree into bold, richly layered works of collectible costume jewelry. His joyful use of color and intricate hand-wired construction make his pieces instantly recognizable and increasingly sought after by collectors.
