"Costly Thy Habit As Thy Purse Can Buy" by William Shakespeare, "Hamlet," Act I, Scene iii.
No, you're not seeing things. Yes, you've seen this before. This assemblage purse necklace was featured in my Etsy shop, Metal Corset, but I've recently added an Art Nouveau locket remnant and gold tone collar locket chain.
So it is now newly relisted to Metal Corset, revamped and better than before. It features an antique Art Nouveau gunmetal purse in repousse design and a remnant of an Art Nouveau gold filled paste locket.
The gold filled locket remnant features a beautiful woman's face with flowing hair underscored with a row of paste stones very indicative of the Art Nouveau movement.
The necklace is hand wired, by moi, including but not limited to, antique filigree bead capped faux pearls, antique sterling filigree beads, crystal rondelles, antique gold tone metal collar locket and a vial filled with watch parts connected to a soldered and drilled antique Frozen Charlotte doll arm.
The closure is a hand forged sterling silver clasp.
Purse measures 3" x 2". Perfect size for a driver's license or a few dollars.
