Victorian Girls Under Glass Pendant On Vintage Necklace

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 22:50:30 -0500

$35.00
There's something about images of victorian girls that tugs at my heart.I just want to capture their image and encase the emotion forever to behold.Here I have chosen an extra large 1 1/2" class cab with an image of two young happy victorian girlies.I then wrapped the cab in pretty piece of aged brass filagree.Having a weakness for vintage beads, this particular set is in exellent condition.It is a double strand of marblized and sparkly lucite beads in a deep ruby color. They are intermingling with brushed goldtone spheres and pearls. The hook closure allows you to wear it at several lengths.Originally this was a triple strand but I have removed the middle strand to accomodate the large pendant. The length of this piece total tip to tip is 17 inches.Please feel free to convo with any questions you may have I am always happy to help. Enjoy!
