"I am only resolved to act in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me."
We often think of strength and gentleness as opposing qualities. Perhaps one of the greatest examples of these in one person takes the form of Pride and Prejudice's Elizabeth Bennet.
This cameo necklace represents Lizzy’s defiance against the pressures of society to marry for financial security and social status. Her self-assurance in turning away from Darcy allows her not to compromise her principles and marry someone she doesn’t love.
However, this necklace also represents her turning back to Darcey and her eventual reconciliation with him. Lizzy’s acceptance of his second proposal once she understands his true nature shows a willingness to open her heart to love. On her own terms.
