Unique and Whimsical Spring Triple Coil Necklace - Antique Pocket Watch Coils - One of a Kind

Description

I have felt, as I know other artisans have, that I don't really create my pieces but rather they tell me what they want to be. That was certainly the case with these spring coils. I've had a few on the side of my desk for some time and didn't really see how they would translate into jewelry until one night...ephiphany! These adorable and whimsical necklaces were then born.

This is one of those designs that you'll find just goes with everything...simple but completely different and quite a statement maker!

These necklaces are created from the coils used in antique pocket watches. Two are held together with silver bands and strung from a 16 inch rope with a silver clasp. I like to keep the ropes sorter on these, about 16 inches, but if you'd like it shorter or longer please just let me know in the 'notes to seller' upon checkout and I'd be happy to adjust.

No antique pocket watches were harmed in my jewelry making. I obtain pieces and parts many of which are no longer usable to refurbish pocket watches as they have been allowed to sit in dusty or damp conditions for too long. Instead of letting this gorgeous bits go to ruin, I try to restore and reuse them in a new way so they can continue to tell their stories.

All of my creations are unique, even if done in a series, because they are made with antique and vintage items and no two are exactly alike. Due to the vintage and antique parts used in my jewelry and art, please do expect certain imperfections due to age. I take create care to clean each piece but I sometimes do not polish too much them as I like the natural antiqued patina.
