We mounted vintage 1950's Czech glass cameos on golden filigree and paired them with beautiful intricate golden fans of the postwar period then hung vintage crosses to finish these beauties off.
The secret language of the fan had its hey day in the 18th century.
- The fan placed near the heart: "You have won my love"
- A closed fan touching the right eye: "When may I be allowed to see you?"
- Half-opened fan pressed to the lips: "You may kiss me"
- Hands clasped together holding an open fan: "Forgive me"
- Covering the left ear with an open fan: "Do not betray our secret"
- Hiding the eyes behind an open fan: "I love you"
- Shutting a fully opened fan slowly: "I promise to marry you"
- Drawing the fan across the eyes: "I am sorry"
- Touching the finger to the tip of the fan: "I wish to speak with you"
- Letting the fan rest on the right cheek: "Yes"
- Letting the fan rest on the left cheek: "No"
- Opening a fan wide: "Wait for me"
- Placing the fan behind the head: "Do not forget me"
- Placing the fan behind the head with finger extended: "Goodbye"
- Fan in right hand in front of face: "Follow me"
- Fan in left hand in front of face: "I am desirous of your acquaintance"
- Twirling the fan in the left hand: "We are being watched"

- Carrying the open fan in the right hand: "You are too willing"
