Sacred Heart Medals

The newest additions to my Sacred Heart medals collection. Both are absolutely stunning French antiques.

The larger one is a Sacred Immaculate Heart of Mary. Around the edge are French words, "Mere De Misericorde Prier Pour Nous," which translates to, "Mother of Mercy Pray For Us."

The smaller one is a French flaming heart ex voto. I believe this piece represented hope, faith and charity at one time, but the anchor is missing.

VICTORIAN ART NOUVEAU CROWN AND CROSS PASTE LOCKET

(SOLD)

This is an exquisite antique Victorian Art Nouveau gold filled locket engraved with a cross and crown set with paste stones.

I've seen a number of paste cross lockets and paste crown lockets, but never one with both in the same design.

So this locket is a very rare and unique.

AVE MARIA FLAMING SACRED HEART MEDAL

I was very fortunate to find this rare Ave Maria medal in high relief.

Ave Maria holds a Flaming Sacred Heart pierced by a sword ,which I believe, symbolizes her pain of the crucifixion. The heart radiates heavenly grace.

I've never seen a medal solely dedicated to Ave Maria as this one or one as detailed.

It is incredible!

VICTORIAN GUNMETAL AND PASTE LONG GUARD OR LORGNETTE CHAIN

(SOLD)

I am thrilled to have found this beautiful antique treasure. This is an antique Victorian gunmetal and clear paste long guard or lorgnette chain with swivel clasp. It measures 60" in length and has seventy two (72) 5mm full cut round paste stones.

I've seen many of these chains before, and actually own one, but never one with as many paste stones as this chain has and I am proud to say, I own it!!!!

SACRE' COEUR

(SOLD)

Here's another beauty just listed to Metal Corset. I love these reproduction Flaming Heart vessels because they are the perfect size to use in creating assemblage jewelry.

This one is combined with an antique Art Deco paste locket. I've added the Deco locket to the rear of this heart to perserve the beautiful Ave Maria engravings to the front. So this heart is reversible and can be worn either way.

Inside the Deco locket is an assemblage created from an antique Sacred Heart of Jesus lace holy card.

The Christ child is adorned with a small antique paste rhinestone and glitter.

All this hangs from a 15" silver plated Victorian revival bookchain.

The Flaming Heart vessel measures 4" in length and the flame unscrews to add your message of devotion inside.

ESPIRITU SANTOS EARRINGS

These two beautiful antique sterling silver Saint Esprit doves were listed to Metal Corset II but expired, so I turned them into earrings.

The one on the left is an antique Georgian sterling silver paste dove with round garnet (?) cabochon eyes, and the one on the right, an antique Victorian sterling paste dove.

Both were brooches once but have now been converted into one of a kind earrings.

Both the dove and cross hang from a hand forged sterling silver earring hook.

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.
