EDITH PIAF PONDERS THE SEA NECKLACE

EDITH PIAF PONDERS THE SEA necklace is inspired by Coco’s unforgettable chanteuse in The Problem with Murmur Lee. From its 2” leaf-and-branch toggle clasp, to the aquamarine stones that evoke a gentle ocean, to the silver chain that reflects whatever light you’re in, this necklace mirrors the strength and beauty of the character who inspired it. “Aquamarine" stems from Latin, meaning “water of the sea” and the gemstone is said to promote calm and tranquility. Sailors carried it as a talisman to insure safe voyages and to transform stormy seas into calm ones. It’s symbolism is a fitting tribute to Coco’s Edith.

I squared my shoulders and looked skyward—la couleur blanche de ciel—and began. Enveloped in light and fog, I became a woman with perfect pitch. But more than that—better than that—pain and joy and hope dotted the whirling dervish of my voice. I moved my people to tears. I reminded them, for a few moments, how exquisite life is. I made them feel as if anything—any sort of love—was possible.

And as my words disappeared into the fantastic veil of this deep fog, as my voice traveled over all of Iris Haven—that this strip of sand and palmetto—I fooled myself into believing that not only was I not alone; I was loved. –Connie May Fowler, The Problem with Murmur Lee
