Details:
Necklace Length: 28 inches. The necklace chain itself is 24 inches but the dangle and charm at the front extend the total length.
This length can be adjusted. Please leave your required length in the gift note section at the checkout.
2 hand-carved brass amulets: Atlas and Eros the Classical deities! I hand-carved these gods from jewellers wax with reference to various Classical artefacts. I used tiny hot metal tools to carve the wax miniatures before I got them cast into raw golden brass.
11 reclaimed gems: vintage white coral, vintage red coral, citrine, abalone, agates, jaspers, pearl, carnelian agate and smoky quartz.
A vintage raw brass belcher chain with a raw brass T bar and dangling tassel at the front. The chain is vintage deadstock from the 1980’s.
The wires wrapping the stones & jump rings are all made from 14ct filled gold. Filled gold is a durable alternative to gold plating whereby a layer of gold is pressure bonded onto a base metal.
The large bolt clasp at the rear is made from raw brass.
One-of-a-kind!
Care:
If you've chosen a piece that has a mix of cast brass amulets on a gold filled or gold-rolled chain, you'll need to treat these elements differently when caring for your jewels. You'll recieve a small white polishing pad with your order to be used on the brass amulets. Please refrain from using this pad on the chain, its quite course and will affect the way your gold looks. The gold is pressure bonded onto the base metal surface, rather than just electroplated on the top. This gold bond is much thicker than plate, and the 14ct gold of this chain makes up 5% of the total piece.
Dispatch and delivery:
Please allow me up to 10 days to dispatch your jewel. Altered lengths may take closer to 2 weeks as I may need to order extra components.
