The Keeper

This amazing necklace can be found at OPULENT ODDITIES

"He was the last of his family's line, no children, and at his age, no chance of having one. And he was the keeper. The keeper of the family secrets, that knowledge that will rot and fester within him.

A beautiful art deco pocket watch from the 1940s is the focus of this piece. The watch crystal is a bit yellowed from age, and the pocket watch no longer works, but its still makes a lovely statement across your chest. I've added three Victorian skeleton keys and a 1920s smoky chandelier prism to tell my story. Its on a gun metal chain with a silver lobster clasp.

The pocket watch measures 2.5inches/6.5cms.
The chain measures 19.75inches/50cms"

I don't do...laundry

This adorable necklace can be found at THE BLUE DRESS

"I am in loooove with this new piece!! My favorite pieces have always been those with a message, a little bit of attitude or lot to look at. This piece has all three. This is part of my new line of domestic protest pieces, look for more in my shop and more to come.

I don't know about you but there are just some days I feel like boycotting mundane household chores...on those days I usually make jewelry instead. :-) The other day I was pulling apart a hanger to use as a household tool and I was inspired.

This piece was handcrafted from sterling silver and has been oxidized to darken the silver and bring out the details. The "charms" have been soldered in place, I decided to make them look like they were free flowing but to solder them in place to make sure the message was always prominent.

Wouldn't this make a cute gift for a new bride?? ....like a cute little inside joke between friends.

The pendant measures 2 1/2" long and hangs on a 19" sterling silver chain which uses a hand made hook and eye style closure."

Each print will arrive signed, dated, in a clear plastic sleeve, and packaged with a thick piece of cardboard. Paper: Each print will be printed on archival natural white canvas.

The flowers on her scarf and belly are also made of wool felt. Mostly Marvelous Ms. Rabbit (who insists on the qualifier in her title in the event that she has an off day) is about 14 inches tall from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. Because of her affection for buttons, Ms. Rabbit is not intended for smalls below the age of three. However, she is also available as a custom order if you prefer a button-less version for a younger child. Just send me a convo. and this can be easily arranged."
