Travels Inspire - OpalEssence Original - One of a kind

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:09:19 -0400

$30.00
Designed with an antique 1940s Elgin pocket watch case I added momentos that evoked the memories of a place once traveled that brings on pleasurable feelings. The altered background features the Eiffel Tower in Paris. I also added some watch gears from this very pocketwatch as well as some brass elements which include a passport and plane.

All of these elements are sealed under archival resin. This one of a kind piece is ready to cherich another 60 years. Its a nice solid piece weighing 3.4oz! The pocket watch is strung on a vintage silvertone rope chain that measures 30", and slips over the neck. The pocket watch measures 3 1/2" long by 2 1/4" wide and is over 1/2" deep!

This chain can be customized to any size you may need at no extra charge.

Where one sees a broken pocket watch an artist sees a world of possibilities. thanks for looking.
