Rossetti
Rossetti...the name is synonymous with the nineteenth century highly romantic
English school of art and literature known as "The Pre-Raphaelites." Dante
Gabrielle Rossetti, though he wrote poetry as well, was best known for his winsome
yet sensual paintings. Rossetti took his inspirations from classic stories of love,
as well as from the beautiful women in his personal life, who often modeled for him
and his "Brotherhood" of artists. One of these lovely models was Dante's sister,
Christina. Christina Rossetti was more than just another one of the "wowers" who
posed for the Pre-Raphaelite artists, though. As a poet, she had an original, and
strong female voice. She is still considered one of the greatest poets of the
nineteenth century.

You can almost imagine the rich garden design of this tiara in the background of a Rossetti
portrait of some sensuous beauty. The florets twine together in a wonderfully
organic dance that reflects the love of nature of Pre-Raphaelite design. Sparkling Austrian
crystals play light across the surface of the design, and natural fresh water pearls seem
to glow from within. The truly elegant decoration spans a generous 8 1/4 inches
of the 13 1/2 inch lovingly textured band, and is 1 inch tall at the peak. The
silver-tone finish is a beautiful touch with the crystals and real pearls. This
beautiful work of art is very flexible as well, and will add a classic touch to almost any
hairstyle, or wedding ensemble, especially off-white and ivory ones. The bride is wearing
earrings 402, necklace 491, and veil 604 which are featured in our other galleries.
