“ Garnets and gold ”
This is my great-grandmother's Edwardian pendant (early 1900s) and my mum's prayer book from the 1940s. They both adored garnets and gold and passed their love of this combination down to me - I wear my mum's garnet and opal engagement ring every day.

    I don't have a light box or tent, but I'm liking the lighting it has given you here, looks great!  I really like the bokeh balls from the dress sparkles.  The pendant looks really good and I like how it was your great-grandmother's.  I wouldn't mind seeing the aperture closed a little to get more of the book in focus, just to see what it looked like.  I really like the way this looks now, it's just a curiosity.

    Emma I love your style and your composition. The base of the dress is perfect for this lovely old image. I also love the family link.

    I love the red cover of the prayer book and how it repeats the colour of the garnets. Beautiful.
