Two Gigi necklaces. One with the Cloverdale cross pendant and another with the Gloria locket. (Pictured with the Classic 18″ necklace with Jewel locket)

This past January ExVoto was invited to participate in the Golden Globes gift baskets for the presenters and nominees staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in LA and while working on this, I created the necklace design featured in this post. I named it the Gigi (after the Golden Globes, naturally). The slightly asymmetrical and seemingly random placement of the hand-wrapped freshwater pearls makes the necklace charming and is either an expression of my personality (which views perfectly balanced perfection as somewhat boring) or the fact that the design was born at around 1:00 AM while I was working endless hours to get the order filled! Necessity is the mother of invention, right? Well maybe necessity is the mother of creativity too, and possibly a good dose of sleep-deprivation helps the process as well.
The Gigi with the vintage, limited edition Gloria cameo locket worn looped through itself for wearing as a short necklace.
Gigi necklaces are also available with the Annabelle locket, Scottie locket, Zelda locket, or the Amory (owl) locket. For an example of these locket styles, see the post titled, “Locket Lineup” from September.
Gigi’s are also available as a one-of-a-kind necklace with an assortment of antique lockets or pendants. Call the showroom for more information and availability. 334.649.9121
