Vintage Reconstruction: Art Nouveau Pendant


Miss Laurel Christensen sent me this lovely three inch tall art nouveau antique brass pendant this week for a little vintage reconstructing! She requested that a chain be made to compliment the pendant without detracting from it, and that it be made long.

First things first, this lovely little lady needed a subtle polish to bring out her original details again. I was careful to leave a lot of the natural patina so that it would maintain it's natural, vintage look and appeal. Immediately so many details started to show up... and her little face was so sweet!





I then began to make a simple embellished chain with just the right amount of shine and sparkle that wouldn't take away from her, and an adjustable chain that can be made super long for a slightly more bohemian look... and viola! Trust me, this is soooo much more gorgeous in person. I hope that this lovely keepsake now has a new life and can be enjoyed so much more.
