Vessel of Life & Memory

This lucky chunky Charm Necklace tells tales of histories, mythologies & faraway lands veined with semi-precious stones.

Discover a Tall Amphora , an Ionic Column, a Sun Star & a cluttering of reclaimed gems, which include an antique baroque pearl, an antique citrine cufflink, angelskin coral & conch.

This converted 9ct rolled gold watch chain features 3 hand-carved amulets, 14 reclaimed gemstones & treasures from lands & seas. I've been collecting stones far & wide to make these charm necklaces...

Details:

  • Necklace Length: 23 inches. This can be adjusted slightly. Please leave your required length in the gift note section at the checkout. The V of the chain comes to 16 inches.

  • Weight: 80g.

  • 3 hand-carved brass amulets: A Tall Amphora Amulet, an Ionic Column, a Sun Star.

  • 13 reclaimed gems: Baroque pearl, citrine, reticulated quartz, agate, a faux stone scarab, an iridescent shell, pearl, Tibetan turquoise, cowrie shell, abalone, vintage angelskin coral, quartz & other pearls.

  • 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 & 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 raw brass - this is the clasp you should use to take the piece on & off.

I can make about 2 of this design. There will be slight variations. Please allow me up to 2 weeks to make & send.

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.
