Angel of the Past
About this design:
I found this angel/fairy on a web site while searching for something else and had to get it, she is very detailed and not at all frail. The "pearls" are vintage from a very old necklace passed on to me from a relatives in-laws grandma. I'm sure they are painted glass but quite pretty. The necklace is choker lenght at 15 1/2 ' with a spring ring clasp and the earrings are 1 1/2 " long.
Components:
Brass angel/fairy, vintage "pearl" necklace, plated gold spring ring clasp.Additional Images:
