Baroque Treasure

This Golden Charm Necklace is adorned with a hand-carved Ex Voto heart amulet that I’ve sculpted from wax & had cast into raw golden brass. The chain is speckled with 18 reclaimed gemstones from faraway lands & seas. 

Spy a dyed black peacock pearl, a weird lil skull, a cowrie shell & sprigs of vintage coral.

Details:

• Necklace Length: 16 inches. The pendant brings it to about 17 inches in length. Clip it securely onto the link to wear it shorter.

• 20 recycled gemstones: pearl, agate, garnet, vintage coral, lava stone, fluorite, faux coral & amethyst, cowrie shell, an antique carved bone skull (oxen!), aqua, carnelian & smoky quartz.

• I sculpted this Ex Voto Heart Amulet from jewellers wax & had it cast into raw brass using the ancient-rooted technique of lost-wax-casting.

• The Medieval Ex Voto Heart symbolises devotion, love, and gratitude.

• CHOOSE YOUR CHARM: You can select the central amulet when you add this into the cart. 

• The chain & all of the metal details are made from 14ct Filled Gold - a thick layer of gold is pressure bonded onto base metal. Filled gold is a more durable alternative to gold plate or vermeil.

• This design is repeatable. I have enough of these recycled gemstones & castings to make a very small limited edition stash of them. 

• They will vary ever so slightly due to the organic nature of the gemstones. I will match the colour palette & as many stones as possible.

Please allow me up to 2 weeks to make this before I wrap & post it out. It’s just a Roo in the studio.
