Relique Corallium - Fairmined Gold Plated
Relique Corallium
This one-of-a-kind lucky Charm Necklace tells tales of histories, mythologies & faraway lands veined with precious stones.
This converted 9ct rolled gold watch chain features 2 hand-carved amulets, which have been cast from wax, cast into golden brass & then plated in lustrous Fairmined Gold. This piece also features an antique citrine gemstone, a vintage vibrant red coral & a large antique pearl.
Details:
Necklace Length: 18 inches - the hanging chain & coral bring it down to 21 inches in length. This can be adjusted slightly. Please leave your required length in the gift note section at the checkout.
2 hand-carved Fairmined Gold plated brass amulets: Eros & a Reliquary Hand.
4 reclaimed gems: an antique citrine cufflink that I’ve converted into a charm, a large ribbed baroque pearl from an antique strand of pearls, a strange cross-shaped cultured pearl & a brilliant red branch of coral, which has been reclaimed from a vintage necklace.
A 9ct rolled gold curb chain necklace featuring a dog-clip, a T-bar & a dangling chain at the front.
The wires wrapping the stones & the jump rings are all made from 14ct filled gold. Rolled & filled gold is a durable alternative to gold plating whereby a layer of gold is pressure bonded onto a base metal.
The large bolt clasp at the rear is made from gold plated brass.
Please allow up to 2 weeks for this oece to be packaged and then sent out to you. It’s just a Roo in the workshop! : )
Care:
If you've chosen a piece that has a mix of cast brass amulets on a gold filled or gold-rolled chain, you'll need to treat these elements differently when caring for your jewels. You'll recieve a small white polishing pad with your order to be used on the brass amulets. Please refrain from using this pad on the chain, its quite course and will affect the way your gold looks. The gold is pressure bonded onto the base metal surface, rather than just electroplated on the top. This gold bond is much thicker than plate, and the 14ct gold of this chain makes up 5% of the total piece.
Dispatch and delivery:
Please allow me up to 10 days to dispatch your jewel. Altered lengths may take closer to 2 weeks as I may need to order extra components.
