Wooden Bridge. Necklace.

Description

Ok. The shape reminds me of a bridge (when I set the amber colored piece finally set in the silver I thought "Sydney Harbour Bridge...Eureka!) .....

Vintage (pre-1970's) honey Lucite is beautifully variegated - some opaque honey color and a bit of clear- making this piece anything but flat...

Lucite is set in a hand-formed bezel setting of Sterling silver. The inside of the setting is protected during oxidation/blackening of the outside and the chain- leaving a span of silver under the "bridge" which allows a bit of light in and the resulting reflection makes the honey glow. I'm obsessive about contrast, light and dark, vintage and new, wood and metal, natural and manmade... and fake wood, plastic wood, faux bois... I love all of my pieces, but this one has a special place in my heart....

This glow also enhances the appearance of the "lines" of different tones of Lucite - giving the focal point an almost woodgrain appearance.

This was totally unexpected when I started building this piece. The result makes me smile.

Pendant measures a bit under 5/8" wide (1.5cm) and 1 5/8"
(6 cm) from the top of the handmade bail to the bottom of the pendant. The chain measures 18" in length and is attached to either side of the bail, with a sterling silver coil between the two...

The piece shown in the images is representative of the piece you will receive. Your treasure will be the same size, design, coloring...Please do allow for small, very subtle variations that make each handmade piece using vintage components special...

All jewelry orders ship wrapped in my signature sunny style...

I love shipping internationally! I ship to “Everywhere Else” unless prohibited.

I follow USPS conditions for mailing : http://pe.usps.com/text/Imm/immctry.htm

Some locations require specific shipping methods (or the packages risk confiscation and even destruction by customs! yikes!) or they restrict certain goods...
If the shipping listed is <$5.00 your package will ship USPS First Class Mail International (airmail). If the shipping cost provided at the bottom of this listing is >$5.00 it reflects a USPS Priority International Insured or Registered Mail requirement to most destinations. If your location does not permit one of these services, your shipping cost will be adjusted at the time of shipping (in the form of a partial refund). You may also send me a message before placing your order, and I will adjust shipping for your specific location and shipping cost, if necessary. The recipient is responsible for any taxes, VAT, customs, fees, brokerage, etc. incurred. Please check your destination postal service website for additional information.

Thanks for stopping in! Please let me know if I may answer any questions!

Best wishes!
