<Old 41–2> A lovely, lightweight openwork pendant that flutters and sways with movement — its value goes far beyond the mere weight of the precious metal. [573]

Introduction

Hello, I’m picturesque.

At our “Authentic-Quality Jewelry Rental” service, we preserve records of discontinued items in blog posts, honoring the connection we once shared with them.

We believe that if these records can serve as inspiration for your outfits, then the very fact that we once encountered these pieces takes on new meaning.

When considering the true purpose of jewelry rental, “discontinuation” is actually a step toward evolution — a form of positive refinement.

The latest update involves retiring the “high-end fashion jewelry” previously listed under category <Old 41①> and introducing a bracelet featuring 18K yellow gold and high-quality gemstones.

Imagining the moments after putting on the jewelry… a scene where a delicate, openwork 18K gold plate pendant seems to float lightly in the air.

<Former 41–2> Total of 3 items: The only change from <Former 41–1> is the bracelet style (switching to the “Émail” version). This establishes a consistent K18 yellow gold base across the line.

<Old 41–2> Pendant: K18 yellow gold featuring an openwork design of a peacock with its feathers spread; 20 mm in diameter. Includes a 60 cm K18 yellow gold twisted chain.

<Old 41–2> Bracelet: Oval-shaped multi-stones set in K18 yellow gold mountings, arranged in a station style. Features peridot and other stones.

<Old 41–2> Ring: K18 yellow gold setting featuring openwork ornamentation. Small diamonds are set at the top and bottom of the center of the front. Width: 5.7 mm. Size: 13.

This ring complements the bracelet through its oval-like pattern elements and harmonizes well with the openwork design of the pendant setting.

The fact that all the items are based on 18K yellow gold is one of the fundamental factors ensuring their compatibility.

Styling example: A long black velour dress. The bracelet’s multicolored elements and 18K gold stand out brilliantly, catching the light.

Afterword

By swapping out just a single item — the bracelet — I was able to shift the style significantly toward a “specialized” look.

That said, I certainly don’t rule out the “mixed” approach seen in the earlier version, <Old 41①>, which incorporated costume jewelry.

If you are interested, please feel free to compare this with the previous post [394] regarding <Old 41①>.

Moving forward, the design evolves into a set — <New 39> — that features a reversible pendant.

The bracelet was moved to a different set, while the ring was discontinued after <Old 41②>.

The ring was a piece from my days as a collector; it highlighted a contrast in mindset between my business and my personal collecting era, and ultimately, it no longer fit the new lineup characterized by “bold, oversized” designs.
