The beautiful necklace is composed of a mass of antique and vintage curios, momentos and charms, all with a feminine theme. Some of my favourites include:
- a large faux "cameo" with the portrait of a lady;
- a sterling siver engraved fob disc
- an antique shield (ready to be engraved if you so feel inclined);
- a vintage tax commission token (State of Washington)
- a faux mother or pearl lady's pocket knife and opener;
- ornate Victorian and Edwardian metal buttons;
- a skeleton key;
- a religious medallion and crucifix;
- an antique typewriter key (if you have a specific initial you would like, please advise after purchase. I have no vowels and cant offer any promises - but will try my best!)
- numerous rhinestone and marcasite charms (formerly earrings or pins - backs since removed);
AND MUCH MORE!
The charms are layered onto 2 tiers of hand wired, faceted crsytal bead chain to create a beautiful "bib" effect. The neck is finished with 2 large chandelier crystals (from the 1800's), large glass pearls and more wired crystals.
The neck circumference of the inner most chain measures 17 inches with a 2 inch extention chain. Please note, I consider the charms are showcased to far greater effect when this style of necklace is worn higher on the neck (not dangling between the breasts) - but of course thats totally up to you!. For tips on how to wear my charm necklaces, please refer to my "shop policies" section.
This is a beautiful conversation piece guaranteed to spark intrigue and curiosity. Its completely overcast otside and I couldnt get any light into my photos. This really is a far more beautiful design in real life!
