The Bibliothèque Schoelcher or "Schoelcher Library" in Fort-de-France, Martinique was the driving inspiration for this elegant gold choker. The library's popping red accents, excess gold detailing about the entire structure, and the strong geometric shapes enhancing the design, were all inspiring moments that influenced the final design of this piece. The highlight was the captivating stained glass sunroof which most of the ornate details in this piece draws from. However, what is most inspiring about the building is its story. Built in France in 1889 and shipped piece by piece to the island of Martinique, it stands today as a monument to slavery abolitionist Victor Schoelcher and the "Look Up In The Library Choker" exists as a tribute to the beauty great inspiration can create.
