:: special request :: Faith Story bracelet - Sold

A long supporter of this blog asked if I could come up with a simple bracelet version of my sideways cross locket necklace from here so here is my take -- clean lines for daily wear but still interesting with little accents like this tiny star charm I got from Tokyo last month, a bezel crystal and mystic topaz. 

Epigraph locket necklace - SGD 155 - Sold

A fantastic large antique oval locket from the Wightman & Hough company set with paste stones in a floral motif patterin is the star in this Epigraph necklace, accompanied by a single vintage teal blue bezel-set glass stone, moonstone heart brios, blue zircon rounds and peacock blue pearls wired in brassy hues. The locket is stunning and in excellent condition with the back face monogrammed with what appears to be a lovely scripted EMD. 

In case you were interested, the W&H Co. was a Providence, RI based jewellery company in business from 1856-1922 and the lockets they produced were exceptional! I love their lockets and may or may not own a few myself :) 

Perhaps Epigraph could go home and live with you for the next 50 years or so?

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! ❤

:: Marseilles sans locket ::

I had so many photos taken of picture-worthy Marseilles but here are a select few so you can see how it looks with and without the locket. Charming either way I say!

I think I am obsessed

Took these photos for a really thoughtful hubby looking for a birthday gift for his wife to put pictures of their bub in. How sweet is that! Eventually he chose one from a different set - a pretty heart-shaped cameo locket - which I think makes a wonderful gift for a new mom!

Going through my jewellery chest (it's no longer just a box or two) made me realize just how many amazing pieces I have and that I really need to make sure none of them feels left out and neglected. The above lockets are but a few from my own collection, I haven't photographed those that I love and wear a lot cos I don't wanna disappoint folks with tantalizing pictures of pieces that ain't available! This is just a selection from the locket section. Now is this jewellery-collecting an obsession or what?
