"PORTRAIT OF A MEMORY" MzMax Creations OOAK Antique Lavaliere Necklace

One of a Kind Creation called "Portrait of a Memory", I named it this, because the Focal Point is the 1800s Hand Painted Portrait Button and I wondered if a gentleman who was at war or apart from his love, painted it and wore it while away, to keep the Great Times in the forefront of his mind. This Lavaliere Necklace was pieced from many old Treasures. The back of the Pendant is parts of two other buttons that needed a place to be Beautiful. The chains on the Lavaliere & Necklace portions were scraps from other disjointed pieces. I hand crafted the little faux grey Seed Pearls and the Necklace clasp is a gold filled clasp from an 1800s broken watch chain. The Length of the Necklace is 21.5" and the Lavaliere Pendant drop measures 3.25" long. No one else in the world will own this Designer signed Heirloom Quality Treasure but, you, should you decide to make it your own. Over the past 35+years in Vintage/Antique Jewelry, I've amassed a Treasure Trove of bits and pieces of Heirloom jewelry that serve no purpose in their fallen state so, I'm rescuing them and creating beauty from these beautiful items that would otherwise be thrown away or lay in a drawer without Admirers. A wonderful Creation to call your own or give to someone else who will cherish and admire the new presence of these old pieces, created anew. Item F86.
