Lady Catherine de Bourgh is a very wealthy but incredibly bad mannered character from Pride and Prejudice. In the BBC adaptation her home and gardens are so wonderfully over the top- teetering on the edge between impressive and vulgar. Here we see her in her self-appointed throne-like chair:
I haven’t been successful thus far in capturing her necklaces, and I only had fleeting glimpses of her earrings, but they seem to be pearl drops, so I designed a pair with wire wrapped loops in a heavy gauge of Sterling silver wire and made them as important-looking as a simple pair of pearl drop earrings can look!

BTW For Her Ladyship I used Swarovski pearls, as I thought the slight, natural variations to be found in freshwater pearls (at least in my stock!) would have been found wanting…
