Featured It is becoming a growing new collection... Cross pendant!

Ditto, and it is beautiful.

 

Kyratango, thanks for your opinion.
The chain just broke on me so I ll put it on a more sturdy one and 'wear the heck our of it'

 

A satin or velvet band or ribbon maybe? There are ones with sterling clasps nowadays.

 

Any Jewelry, that sounds like a wonderful idea. I might look into that, thanks!

 

The bigger the better...?


From here (in French...):

The ladies of Normandy were closet Dutch. But where lace caps overhere mostly went to the sides, the Normandy caps went up.

Although the ladies of Huizen (between Amsterdam and Utrecht) thought both up and sideways was a good idea:


These are two different lace caps btw.

 

That bunch of rusted cut steel "crossed" my path...

Snatched it in a lot with a part of silver buckle and a paste bow brooch lacking a dangle, all totally black from oxydation

The cross was treated with brass wire brush, then fiberglass and finally polished with 4 faces nail gel file. Shiny again

Big one: 7cmx4cm or roughly 3"x1.5"

The half buckle is very nice as a pendant on the Echo en Mexico chain I just got

 

Stunning cross, and great job on cleaning them.

Yes, it works. Looks like a cloak buckle.

 

The cut steel cross..yowza. The belt buckle looks good as a pendant, but I think the chain likes your bird skull better.

 

Knowing kyra, she'll make a duplicate out of aluminum foil.

 

and nail polish!

 

Sure, they are both in love
The cross luckily came out far better without any dipping, pheew....

 

Don’t challenge me
You forgot putty in my arsenal

 

And ink pens, and curing cement.

 

And nail polish.

 

Lovely cut steel cross! You did an excellent job there once again!
I don't understand the bird scull comments though

 

Nevermind, I saw your other post just now and can not unsee
The bird-like creature is very ehhh creative, I like your chain better with the half buckle though

 

the creature has been identified as a skink lizard. I love to think it is a baby dragon!
The chain is a very nice versatile piece, which can complement several of my heavy pendants
Thank you for your appreciation on the polishing work

 

Well done, Kyra! Very nice finds. I am a bit (just a little bit ) envious about the cut steel cross. Impressive!

 

But it is!
