Created centuries ago simply as a way to secure a tunic or cape, the pin has grown into a fashion statement. The Extasia pin features their signature intaglio in jet surrounded by four gleaming clusters of pewter-colored simulated pearls. Like all Extasia designs, the Jet Intaglio Pin is an indispensable accent to any wardrobe, the perfect blend of vintage chic and modern diva.
Whereas a cameo is a relief image raised higher than its background, an intaglio is the opposite: a carving into a background, creating a recessed image. Each of Extasia's intaglios is made by hand in a small Bavarian village using original steel molds and traditional techniques developed in the 1800s. In this Jet Intaglio Pin, a classic intaglio becomes a dazzling adornment to any piece of clothing. The result is anything but old-fashioned. With timeless appeal and subtle grace that blend with evening attire or blue jeans, this pin will please any fashion sense.
All Extasia designs are conceived and constructed by hand in the company's northern California workshop. When Stefanie Freydont founded Extasia in 1991, she envisioned a line of jewelry that reflected "classic beauty and old-world craftsmanship," but was also fashion forward, demonstrating "fresh and timeless aplomb."
