At the bottom and center of the piece, a fusion of charms and talismans join in a shapely assemblage, adding balance to the piece. On the body, her work of great detail andintricacyis all the while, a near weightless delight and comfort to wear. A sweet composition of ornate charm, Lucia creates an invaluable keepsake that remains nearer and dearer to our hearts.
