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.

Tiny Antique Holy Water Bottle And Filigree Ball Assemblage Necklace





See my newly listed assemblage necklace at http://www.etsy.com/shop/metalcorset?ref=si_shop

This one of a kind assemblage necklace was created by combining a tiny antique Holy water bottle with a crown top and an image of Ave Maria from an antique lace Holy card.

Inside the bottle are foil back paste chaton rhinestones and vintage faux pearls.

I hung it from an antique silver plated filigree ball necklace long enough to slip over the head.

The front of the antique Holy water bottle has a cross and the words, "Holy, Water," in raised glass.

It's hard to photograph but the image is much clearer and crisper in person.

The antique Holy water bottle including crown measures: 3.25".
