Flaming Sacred Heart Ex Voto Vessel and Art Deco Sterling Silver Marcasite Locket Assemblage Necklace

(SOLD)


My newest assemblage jewelry piece and quite a lot of fun to make. I found a stunning Art Deco sterling silver and marcasite watch pendant and used it to embellish a pewter flaming sacred heart ex voto vessel. The Christ Child assemblage inside was created from an antique lace holy card. The flame top of the vessel unscrews so a message of devotion can be placed inside. Three foil backed paste chatons are placed inside the locket to give movement. It hangs from a 15" silver plated rolo chain.

This is one beautiful piece. It's an Art Deco sterling silver paste brooch measuring 2 3/8" x 2". Such a stunning bird with amazing detail. I have already created in my mind's eye an assemblage I will be using it in. Keep a weathered eye on Metal Corset for its debut.
