VINTAGE LAVALIER WATCH PENDANT NECKLACE with GEMSTONES & RHINESTONES
One of my "save a beautiful piece" designs, now a second piece which is in a new collection I decided to start titled "Time Standing Still" . I have been going through jewelry here which I haven't looked at in a long time and found quite a few vintage watches. None are working, but all are too pretty to just do away with. So, I will be designing lavalier necklaces from most of them. Please check in often as I will be listing them as I complete them, one at a time.
This lavalier pendant watch necklace features a charming, 1940's, gold filled, ladies wrist watch. The band was removed to make it into a necklace. The watch of course, is not working, but when designed to wear as a necklace it is sweet piece of history that can now be kept and worn for its' beauty and artistic value. The watch is signed Dorrance, a company I never heard of so can't give any info on it. The art quality is wonderful; the workmanship seen in the design detail is very pretty with a flower garden theme. The added adornments I added are are all vintage, down to the gold filled chain. Now a keepsake pendant which will make a beautiful addition to any vintage jewelry collection.
DETAILS
