DESIRE-HAND SERIES NO. 3


I've collected several antique jewelry components over the years that have either been orphaned, such as components to a larger jewelry piece, or broken bits of treasure, such as a locket front. 

These items continue to convey beauty in their own way and just like any orphan, they desire to find a new home and family.

A few of these saved items were used to create this beautiful bracelet and have now found a new home.

The antique jewelry components are as follows:

1. Victorian ship's wheel compass in working order
2. Victorian carved gutta percha castle pendant (probably once from a gutta percha bracelet)
3. Art Nouveau gold filled locket of a beautiful woman with flowing hair and paste stones (front only)
4. Art Deco Habille carved shell cameo locket with diamond necklace
5. Victorian brass hand from an antique chatelaine chain
