Paisley Red

And this purse is elegant personified; you can carry this evening purse on a casual evening out or, to the most formal of Balls. I would pick a plain black dress to show it off. If you are not noticed by everyone I will take it back. You will find that men are the first to notice, they will come to your table like bees to honey, and want to know all about this very unusual piece. And these dramatic rainbow colors are sure to catch their eye. It is perfect size. Just big enough for your lipstick, credit card, and $100 bill. But not too big to overwhelm your other jewelry. The purse is fitted with a wrist strap for easy carrying, or you may have a long strap for carrying on your shoulder, your choice.

The purse starts as an engine turned, guilloche, pure silver shell. The armature  is five and one half inches tall and the locking bezel is four inches across. To this is added the paisley swirls and crystals. Finally the multi colored enamel is baked in, one color at a time. It is a slow process, all by hand, but the results are like nothing ever seen before.

You may be afraid to carry such an eye-catching accessory, for fear it will be stolen. But all of the admirers around you will guard it with their lives. Besides it is small enough to carry around on its wrist strap without getting in the way, you want everyone to see it, don’t you?
