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.
