Prelude to the sea. Vintage locket clamshell necklace.

Description

Nautical is a favorite fashion style of mine. As well as ethereal/French/whimsical, vintage, mixed with thrift whichever, there is something about sailors and the mysterious ocean. I wanted to capture that in an authentic design, without it looking like you went to san diego and bought a necklace from the gift shop.

Opening clams to reveal a pearl like in fairy tales. Generating that imaginative feel, gah, I just love.

A beautiful little vintage clam shell, gold plated on its backside and a soft salmon ballet pink on its front, it holds a tiny pearl. The clam measures under an inch.

Alongside is a striking patina oval shaped locket. Vintage, and has a beautiful very slight glimmering sheen. Its so wonderfully whimsical. Locket is 1 inch in size.

Comes on delicate fine antique light brass measuring approx 17 inches. Corresponding lobster clasp. Toggle available upon request. Real gold (lighter and gorgeous) available for an additional 6.00 added to price. Convo me ahead of time for this option.

A truly magical and beautiful piece.

With all items, please avoid wearing in water. Gold plating will peel off in hot water. Brass can sometimes turn to a red rust in hot water. Copper can change to a brass tone. Bonding glue on rings/a few necklaces I carry, can absorb in hot water as well. Thus, pops off. I do wish I could use real gold, but it would contribute to prices raised significantly. I love being able to keep my items affordable to anyone. :)
