Pearls on a String . Floral Embossed Locket Necklace

Description

Pearls and lace and all things luxe! Whether going out with the girls, an Easter Sunday event, or a wedding... this sweet necklace is sure to get noticed with it's Victorian charm and modern styling.

An antique brass floral embossed locket / compact with a mirror inside hangs on an asymmetrical strand of antique lace and silk strung, hand-tied freshwater pearls. Three lace roses with freshwater pearl centers accent the piece on the left and a single lace rose on the right.

There is not a clasp, as this can easily be slipped over ones head. (My model, Maggie is very petite which makes this piece seem really long.)

Approx. Length ~ 33" with a 2.75" Locket Drop. The locket measures 1.75" Dia.

All patinas are natural and created over time. Authentic vintage, one-of-a-kind.

Artist Signed and Dated

Inspired by Sarojini Naidu's "Palanquin Bearers".

"Lightly, O lightly we bear her along,
She sways like a flower in the wind of our song;
She skims like a bird on the foam of a stream,
She floats like a laugh from the lips of a dream.
Gaily, O gaily we glide and we sing,
We bear her along like a pearl on a string.

Softly, O softly we bear her along,
She hangs like a star in the dew of our song;
She springs like a beam on the brow of the tide,
She falls like a tear from the eyes of a bride.
Lightly, O lightly we glide and we sing,
We bear her along like a pearl on a string."
