Sterling silver necklace from William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night: "If music be the food of love play on."
Music and love are perfectly intertwined in this famous opening line from one of Shakespeare's most loved comedies, Twelfth Night; or, What You Will. The title refers to the twelfth night after Christmas, the feast of Epiphany, primarily a Christian festival, but also in Shakespeare's time a night of revelry and masque. This provides a basis for the plot, which revolves around music, love, mistaken identity and disguise. The quote is finely engraved on a ribbon of precious metal forming a treble or G clef, reflecting the message.
The G clef is 1-5/8" long. The included sterling silver chain is 18" long.
All designs are gift boxed. Story cards are included that provide detail about the history behind each piece.
