Description:
Venetian courtesans were fashion trend setters who played artfully with the visual boundaries separating women into distinct groups. They manipulated the visual demarcations that divided women into groups according to the stages of their life cycle and their marital status: that is, maiden, married woman, or widow. They selected clothing from these groups of women in order to create individualized styles. Doing so became easier with the fluid social structure of sixteenth-century Venice where wealth no longer belonged, as it once had in the fourteenth and fifteenth-centuries, to one privileged social register. Their style was individual and fashionable, with unusual color choices and decorative trims, while adhering to conventional sartorial limits. This Women's Venetian Love Mask necklace and non-piercing nipple rings is simply exquisite. The heavy Silver plated (10 microns) cast Mask is hand crafted to provide a high class look under your favorite outfit, or without anything at all.
