This necklace features a vintage brass locket from the 1970's, which I have added an original vintage map of Europe cutout to the front of. The areas included on the map are London, Paris, Rome, Oslo, Amsterdam, Prague, etc. I have coated the map with various glazes and sealers to make it water resistant, but it is not considered waterproof. Please do not swim, bathe, etc, while wearing this piece.
I chose to use these wonderfully larger sized lockets so that they would be big enough to tuck away a little note or photograph on the inside. The locket measures 1 1/2-inches tall (4cm) and is made of brass, with an inner copper ring and hinge. Please note that due to it's age, the brass is naturally tarnished in some areas. I think it adds to the charm of the piece! Please take care when opening/closing the locket.
Hanging above the locket is a petite gold plated bird charm, ready to fly away home. The total length of the (oxidized) sterling silver chain is 24-inches (61cm) and it finishes with a spring clasp closure.
Please note that the last photograph is shown for size reference. It is the same necklace with a different map. You will receive the necklace shown in the first 4 photos.
All of my jewelry is sent in a gift box tied with a ribbon, ready for gift giving or receiving!
*If you are sending this locket as a gift to a special someone and would like me to put a tiny note inside of it, please leave a message in the "Notes to Seller" during the checkout process and I will be happy to include one!*
