Happy Valentines Day! Charmed I'm Sure.


Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

Just a quick post to show you I finished my assemblage necklace. Below is a list of the things I put on it.

The Top Row....has a little gold lock I have had all my life. French enamel pansies. A 1920's brass hobnail boot, a vintage piece of petit point, my Barbie clock, a natural crystal in the shape of a cross from Kentucky, a brass owl. The Second Row... has a sterling silver teapot (that opens), a French Souvenir locket with photos of Paris, a frog prince, a French hotel number brass key fob, a sterling silver doll purse (that opens), a brass hour glass, French brass dolls frame, a enamel butterfly attached to a brass whistle, a French porcelain house number, collection of Victorian wescot buttons, A French dance card with Joan of Arc & a tiny pencil, a school student honor metal. At The Bottom... attached to the doll frame... is a 120 year old French guilloche enamel 1.5 inch ladies compact.

It sure is turned out to be a conversation piece, the few times I have worn it people stop me to ask about it.

    Hi Catherine!
    I don't doubt that this INCREDIBLE necklace has attracted many people's attention- it is truly WONDERFUL!!! :D
    I Love the centered petit point, baby picture and the enamel which serve to ground the entire collection, as well as the well-placed hits of black and silver which balance all of the other colors and textures.
    It's is like wearing a 3-D history book around your neck which EVERYONE will want to Read!! ;P

      Thank you very much Elizabeth.
      There are a few antique pieces that are fun. I think as time goes on a few a the modern things will be changed.

    Dear Catherine - the necklace is absolutely delightful. I have been clicking on to the photo so that I could see all of the different elements clearly. Love the tiny pansies especially the red one.
    Hope you had a happy day♡

      Thank you Linda.
      It is a curiosity I suppose. Charms are miniatures after all. :-)
