Love & Faith Locket Necklace - SGD 105 - Sold
If you were interested in my sideways cross locket necklace here, you may be pleased to know I have come up with a similar piece also featuring a pretty vintage gold locket in just the right size for a dainty necklace. Most lockets I've found are either too bulky for the delicate look I'm going for or the gold finish isn't quite right so you can't imagine how pleased I was to find another that would work.
Sterling and rhinestone accents, a shiny poofy gold-filled star, a tiny faceted blue topaz and smooth blue flash moonstone brios are added for a lovely 2-toned finish on an equally fetching petite gold-filled chain.
Time now to spend the rest of the balmy Saturday with the mister and kiddos, hope you have a splendid weekend with the ones you love too! ❤

A sparkly speckled heart is nestled in there somewhere along with the tiniest vintage prong-set pearl drop. Charms, wirework and clasp are 14k gold-filled.
A lovely keepsake for any occasion.

Edwardia Necklace - SGD 125 - Sold
This is honestly going to be the one I find it the hardest to part with, simply because of that seriously awesome Victorian swallows brooch pin with a bezel set opal cabochon. This was a surprise find during my antiquing stint in the UK this summer and I just know I may never come across the likes of it again! I kept it simple with a pretty faceted emerald green onyx dewdrop briolette, vintage rhinestone drop, freshwater pearls and sprinkles of semiprecious rondelles on a 14k GF chain.
Victorians were known for their sentimentality and expressed itself in their tendency to use symbolism in their jewellery. Apart from flower language, the swallow was another popular jewellery motif in that time period. The Victorians use swallows to symbolise "the winged soul", love, children, motherhood and more. Swallows were known to always return to the same nesting place no matter where they went so they symbolised "faithfully returning home". This is why sailors of old liked using swallows as a tattoo theme -- due to their navigational prowess and the fact that he sight of a swallow also indicated that land was near. How much meaning for one little birdie!
St. Germain Necklace - SGD 130 - Sold
A lovely statement necklace made up of a large Victorian era brassy bow brooch, vintage opaque white signed earring, vintage rhinestone wreath focal, clear crystal quartz cube gemstones, natural chalcedony briolette, a heavy weight weave vintage chain with a slight chain & side toggle closure in 14k GF.
