Details:
Necklace Length: x inches
This can be adjusted. Please leave your required length in the gift note section at the checkout.
3 hand-carved brass amulets: Hermes Foot, a Magic Star & an Amphora Amulet.
14 reclaimed gems: a hand-carved howlite dragon, a ceramic glazed donut, a lapis lazuli cylindrical bead, a vintage faux malachite, an antique glass faux banded agate & a sprinkling of agate, abalone, turquoise & pearl.
A 9ct rolled gold curb chain necklace featuring a dog-clip, a T-bar & a dangling chain at the front.
The wires wrapping the stones & jump rings are all made from 14ct filled gold. Rolled & 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 - this is the clasp you should use to take the piece on & off.
This piece will be made-to-order, so please allow up to 14 working days before we ship your treasure. We're a very small team - it's mostly just a Roo in the studio! :) We usually send parcels out on a Thursday.
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.
