THE LOVERS PENDANT

£875.00

PENDANT: 3cm x 2cm
CHAIN: fine silver wire chain 41cm

It takes approximately six weeks to complete each order to our exacting standards. Because of the fine detail of the image, each pair of cufflinks and pendant is produced using the cire perdue or lost-wax casting process from its own individual mould, resulting in subtle differences which make each piece unique.

Once cast the pieces are assembled and finished by hand, 1ct diamonds are set into each piece and the recessed lines of the image highlighted with black rhodium to give added definition. Each item is graded, hallmarked and individually numbered on the reverse. The edition is limited to fifty one and a certificate of authenticity accompanies each order signed in monogram by Paul Yates.

Description

Elizabeth Newell, Designer
“The image of THE LOVERS captures that forever moment when two lovers hold themselves so close, so completely, they never want to let go. Whether to mark a new relationship, an engagement, wedding, St. Valentine’s Day or other special occasion THE LOVERS cufflinks and pendant are perfect gifts to express how you feel about the special person in your life.” Elizabeth Newell

The original drawing of THE LOVERS was made by Paul Yates in 1971. In 2007 a limited edition of fifty one prints of THE LOVERS was commissioned by Brown Thomas, Dublin, for St. Valentine’s Day. The edition sold out in one day! Paul Yates wrote a poem on the theme in 2012. Elizabeth Newell developed the image of THE LOVERS into the form of cufflinks and a pendent reproducing the original drawing along with a single diamond that echoes the last line of the poem.

THE LOVERS

Inside the mind of this poem the memory
Of their embrace is frozen still, the smell

Of the rain on their hair, the roses that
Grew out of the cold that pressed against

Their cheeks; That far away close up look
In their eyes, the deep warm well of their

Kisses as they clasped each other’s hands
Inside their overcoat pockets, to stop their

Love from ever getting away. That misty
Freeze frame of their forever moment as

Fixed in their hearts as the image on a
Tarot card, as a wish made upon a star.
