Crystal Clutch - Feet of Vishnu

Dark feet on a field of light, framed by a crystal halo.

The crystal clutch, feet of Vishnu, is a contemporary piece of Primitive Fashion in Swarovski crystal. The footprints of Vishnu are an ancient Hindu emblem, generally understood as a mark of the god's presence, and here the motif is borrowed for an evening bag. A pair of black-crystal feet sits inside a clear crystal oval, set against a gunmetal ground that wraps the body. A jeweled clasp closes the frame, and a fine snake-chain strap trails beside it. It is 6.25 inches long and 4.5 high.

Devotion in pavé, kept for an evening out.
