Gold Victorian Cross on Velvet ChokerI had some lovely little Victorian jewels in my stock room and thought fixing them on black velvet chokers would be a wonderful way to bring them back to life, as they were so frequently worn in the 19th century and then again in fashion trends of the 90s. In each example, the pendant is true antique & the black velvet chokers are assembled by me. This one features an embossed gold filled cross. Its very Lacroix! Refer to photos for size and

If you’re not fortunate enough to live in an area with nice old cemeteries- or you don’t have deep enough pockets to buy a deaccessioned stone- gravestone rubbings like these are the next best thing
