AND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE-My little Charley: 

Intaglios

Intaglio is the opposite of a cameo as its carved into wood, ivory or stone, while a cameo is a raised carving. Commonly intaglios were thought to bring good luck and were "trinkets" from Europe. Their roots date back to ancient Rome in which they were like a seal to mark your belongings, or an insignia in your ring. You can find them in rings, jewelry, and framed, with some examples below. I love how they are so delicate and look amazing framed, whether it's a singular one, a grouping, or a colored background. 

Intaglios framed en masse. Love the blue background. BrownRigg

Capiz Chandeliers

Since I love things beachy, I have always liked the look of capiz chandeliers. They are not stuffy, and provide a nice glow of light. I hung one in my guest bedroom that has framed sea fans above the bed and love it! While I may not currently live by the beach, my guests can still feel as if they are on vacation.
