Elegant Gold Cat Locket with Leaf Charm and Crystal

Description

~An adorable fairy kitten takes a catnap on a branch, enjoying a purrrrfect enchanted autumn~

If you know someone (including yourself!) who loves cats or the timeless elegance of lockets, this Purrfect Autumn kitten cameo locket may be the perfect gift! Each side of the locket's inside has a little edge, perfect for putting a picture in without it falling out! Maybe even a picture of their own or your own kitty :) It even comes in a gorgeous sheer organza bag, perfect for gift-giving or storing your locket in.

I designed and handcrafted this lovely creation, using a 40x30mm cameo I made from one of my original paintings, a gorgeous gold locket, one of my elegant key charms, and of course an incomparibly sparklie Swarovski crystal. This large locket measures approx. 2 inches from the top of the loop to the bottom of the locket.

The cameo itself has an archival reproduction of my painting, set beneath a sparkling clear acrylic dome. The chain comes with the cameo locket and measures 18". The locket, chain, and charm are all quality gold-plated.

Thanks for looking!

~~~***~~~Behind the making of the locket~~~***~~~

Each locket goes through a multiple-step, multiple-day process; during each step I inspect my work carefully to make sure it meets the highest quality standards. First, I have to print each image and choose a cab for it. I first glue the cabochon over then image; when that's dry, I carefully cut it out and prepare it for the second step, which is securing the cab to the locket itself.

I use one of the strongest (and finicky!) glues available to do so; while that dries, I take a crystal, insert a headpin, and wrap it so I can hang it on the charm. When the locket is dry I string it on a chain, add the charm & crystal, and place it in an organza bag. It's now ready to go home to you!

I have done my best to preserve the image and protect it from the elements; it should be perfectly all right to wear if you're dashing from the car to the house in the rain. However, I would attempt to keep it safe from water and other possibly destructive elements, which may also affect the plating on the locket and chain.
