I found this web article about Elsa. I don’t know if someone might have posted it already.


I love this photo from the link, of the various phases the rock crystal perfume bottle goes through from the raw piece of quartz to the finished crystal bottle.

There was once a Peretti perfume that came with it. I have what once was a refill kit for it but the bottles are empty except for some dried residue on the bottom. It must have smelled amazing once from what I can smell from what's left. Strangely, there is no info on the perfume itself that I could find.

This is beautiful, what a work of art from a piece of stone. Thanks for sharing!
 
Happy Memorial Day to those in the US!
I'm still on a mission to get a giant bean. :biggrin:
May I ask if anyone has this bean pillbox? I am thinking of threading a chain/silk cord through the center clasp, but I worry it will flop around. This might be one of those pieces where I have to go to a boutique to try it.

If anyone has this, I would love the hear your thoughts.

@BigAkoya i found this in a March issue of In Style. The pillbox would fit right in!

So fun, I don't remember seeing this photo before. I love the shape of the bottle, so beautiful. I'll enjoy reading the blog, too. Thanks for sharing! :flowers:

This is so cool! I really need to get to a boutique and try out options for that bean pillbox and see how it looks worn.
Full disclosure... I am planning a trip later this month, so maybe it will happen. :biggrin:

Thanks for sharing this!


You know what could look really cool, turn it over, lay a black cord in it so the straps run on each side of the hinge, then close it. You could also get a long black cord, tie a knot at the bottom, close it on the cord and wear it vertically. So easy to change up the options!

The trick will be if it closes on the cord.

I love this! I am sure it will close (well, I hope!). And actually, if I buy another 30" black silk cord, it already has that "loop and knot" closure that I could just put at the bottom of the bean. It would look like a professional knot too because I am sure my knot would look cheesy.

I really like the horiontal bean too in your first photo... that is really my wish... to make it a big fat horizontal bean-on-a-cord. These are some great options! You now have me excited again! I really love litle pillboxes, I think they are so cute.

Thank you! This is so creative!

Just a quick update. This has rapidly become a treasured piece. I have now three options - keychain, long necklace and, my favourite, short. I’ve been wearing it like this for a couple months now, almost every day.

I love it so much! Such a beautiful bright spot during COVID.

I think prices on a lot, if not all, Peretti pieces went up. I received an email advertising the bone cuff today, I clicked, and the price is slightly higher than I recall seeing it a few months ago. The bone cuff is now $1200.
I then looked at other pieces I had to compare, and yup, all the ones I checked had a price increase.

The black oynx cabachon ring I purchased a few months ago for $975.00 is now $1,000.
The starfish - purchased for $600, now $650.
The bottle necklace with turquoise stopper - purchased for $900, now $975.
The red lacquer bangle that I do not have (sold out) - ordered for $500, now $550.

So... all the ones I checked definitely went up.
I recently purchased a non-Peretti piece, the catchall tray, and the price is the same, so I am thinking it's Peretti only? The tray is super cute by the way, a little pop of Tiffany blue. Here is the link in case anyone is interested.
