Dante Gabriel Rossetti — “Proserpine” (1878) * * * Proserpine “Afar away the light that brings cold cheer Unto this wall,—one instant and no more Admitted at my distant palace-door. Afar the flowers of Enna from this drear Dire fruit, which, tasted once, must thrall me here. Afar those skies from this Tartarean grey That chills me: and afar, how far away, The nights that shall be from the days that were. Afar from mine own self I seem, and wing Strange ways in thought, and listen for a sign: And still some heart unto some soul doth pine, (Whose sounds mine inner sense in fain to bring, Continually together murmuring,)— ‘Woe’s me for thee, unhappy Proserpine!’” — Dante Gabriel Rossetti + “Although Proserpine inhabits the palace of death, the golden glow of her flesh and the warmth of her lips makes it clear that she represents life, waiting to be freed and reborn.” — Alain R. Truong

Angelina Jolie, usó esta exquisita gargantilla de diamantes antiguos, la cual ha sido bautizada como "Elise", nombre del personaje de Angelina Jolie, Elise en The Tourist. Robert Procop buscó alrededor del globo, y dió con esta pieza de singular belleza. Diseño de volutas de follaje calado, engastado con coronas entrelazadas de diamantes engastados en hojas de laurel y acentuado por seis diamantes de talla antigua oscilantes. Ejemplo superlativo del estilo Garland muy apreciado a principios del siglo XX, el collar es hermoso, elegante y de gran magnificencia. Angelina Jolie wore this exquisite antique diamond necklace, which has been dubbed "Elise", named after Angelina Jolie's character, Elise in The Tourist. Robert Procop searched the globe and found this piece of singular beauty. Openwork foliage scroll design set with interlocking diamond crowns set in laurel leaves and accented by six oscillating old-cut diamonds. A superlative example of the Garland style much appreciated at the beginning of the 20th century, the necklace is beautiful, elegant, and of great magnificence. @angelinajolie @angelinajolie_offiicial @robertprocop @gomez_molina_joyeros #angelina_jolie_with_love #angelina_jolie_voight_fans #alainrtruong #robertprocop #angelinajoliepitt #angelinajolieofficial #jewellery #jewelry #jewelryaddict #instalike #HighJewellery #hautejoaillerie #Gems #FineArt #gemstonejewelry #highjewelry #highendjewelry #finejewelry #hautejoaillerie #instajewelry #instajewels #fashionjewelry #jewelry #jewels #jewelrydesign #jewelrygram #jewellery #luxuryjewelry #instafashion #ipmilstein
