A Nostalgic Necklace

Ready for a little romance and nostalgia? Have a look at this necklace. It's more of an assemblage than a pendant. I love incorporating an assortment of materials into a necklace such as this one.

The rich warmth of the brass elements is nicely offset by the cool blues of the beads. That dotted bead is a treasured one from my (vast) collection of vintage glass beads. I'm not sure how I convinced myself to actually use it!

I've been collecting skeleton keys for quite some time and this necklace features a really nice one. the heart beads? Well, they just seemed to want to be part of this necklace.

It is for sale in my etsy shop. Click on the photo to go directly to the listing.

Another Grand Entrance!

My first Grand Entrance necklace sold so soon after listing it on etsy that I decided to make another one. This one features the same escutcheon pendant and an antique key. I chose to use light blue and lavender beads for the color. The etched blue bead with the dots is from a vintage necklace that I deconstructed. There is also a glass leaf bead and a two-toned heart shaped bead.

Grand Entrance - The Necklace

This is one of the newest items I've posted to my Etsy shop. The assemblage of items includes a brass escutcheon, an antique skeleton key, an amber glass leaf, a small Swarovski flower bead and my favorite vintage glass bead -- it's the amber colored twist. The chain is brass and is finished with a simple hook clasp. Enjoy!
