outlets Born out of the clandestine romance between the young Prince Regent of England and divorcee Maria Fitzherbert, the eye miniature emerged as a love token during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Protective eye talismans appear in many cultures, however, the English eye miniature was a unique phenomenon, imbued with personal meaning as a token of love, companionship, and kinship.
This listing is for an original, one-of-a-kind, hand-painted miniature portrait of your animal companion's eye. I can work from high-quality photos sent over the internet or through the mail. Please allow up to two weeks to complete painting.
Hand-painted eye miniature can be set a variety of silver-plated, gold-plated or silver-tone settings--please take a look at my other listing and the "custom designs" page of my website (www.adoublegrace.weebly.com) to see what settings I currently have. Painted with watercolor and gouache on hot-pressed cotton paper. Protected by a clear coat of acrylic for a glossy, slightly-antiqued look and/or a clear magnifying cabochon. Once placed in a setting, your painting may be suspended from a chain or ribbon or may be worn as a brooch if a pin back setting is selected, your choice.
Item includes a tulle or recycled silk gift bag.
**Please note that this is a customized, made-to-order item that requires your choice of setting, style (brooch or necklace) and image before it can be completed. If you have questions or specific ideas about your project you'd like to discuss before placing an order, please feel free to contact me!**
