Muse: Elle Orchid Collection
By Grazia Horwitz | April 20, 2007
Yes, there are days that the tons of group notices from Fashion Consolidated drive me nuts and I just keep clicking them away without even bother to read them… and then there are days that I’m just so happy with it… like today when I received a message from Caliah Lyon that she released a new set of jewelry that on the ad was so totally delicious that I just had to buy it right away.
As all Caliah’s jewelry, this set is highly detailed. The Elle Orchid Collection is a delicate combination of pearls, semi-precious stones in pastel hues (5 different colours), and petals of silver finished in a thin layer of iridescent mother-of-pearl. The orchids are so beautiful. They really have this iridescent glow that looks great, especially at night time. The ton sur ton in the ivory set that I’m wearing is amazing. I have not seen this level of subtlety in SL often before. To match this lovely necklace Caliah has made several earrings. One fatpack with beads, dangles and studded earrings (I’m wearing the studs) and some single dangle earrings with the same semi-precious stones as in the several necklaces.
Besides Caliah’s jewelry, I’m wearing ETD’s Chalissa II in Smoke Burnt which I think is one of Elika’s best releases since Roslin, Tete à Pied’s Bronzage Medium Seductress wich I adore for it’s smoothness and the somewhat mute make up that is yet very glamorous, Starley’s prim lashes that come with the Deviant Nation skins (they are like a cell phone…. impossible that you ever managed to do without), Blaze’s lovely Rapshody gown and the incredibly beautiful green eyes that Toast Bard has on display in her shop Fashionably Dead.
Seen in world: yes ~ Review copy: no ~ Friends list: no

Caliah is certainly one of the finest jewelry creators in Second Life. All of her items so far have a delicate and seriously beautiful aesthetic sensibility. Brava!

Now that I see it on you, I know I need to go back and get it! Thanks for the pic!

Posted by: Aradia on April 21st, 2007 at 4:44 pmI’m blonde okay ? I just learned…you click on the link in the text….it takes you to a page that asks if you want to teleport there…you click it…THEN you click on your MAP and click teleport…forget trying to follow the little red arrow…OKAY…teleport from the MAP and it takes you right there…and its worth it because the jewelry is great. So I’m a little slow…and not all that new… : )

Posted by: Nicky Ree on April 21st, 2007 at 8:16 pmI was happily surprised at the reactions this collection has been getting. :) Thank you Grazia.
Posted by: Caliah Lyon on April 22nd, 2007 at 11:15 amI bought the set also…absolutely love it. It’s bold and delicate at the same time. Beautiful, really.
Posted by: Gillian Waldman on April 22nd, 2007 at 3:36 pmI bought this after seeing it blogged in a few different places (and needing something to go with my Blaze Celebrity dress) and I am amazed and delighted at how beautiful it is and how nicely it sits on my avatar. A lot of necklaces don’t sit nicely, or they require a lot of adjustments to get them to, but this one was perfect right out of the box!
