La Ghirlandata ~ Rossetti Pictorial Shrine Amulet

La Ghirlandata ~ by Dante Gabriel Rossetti is the focal point of this handcrafted, one of a kind necklace. Found image under hand cut water textured glass, set within a highly detailed shield clay frame. A carnelian agate crescent moon & faceted glass bead hangs from the pendant. Hand painted with an Italian rust red accented, antiqued gold finish. Pendant is @ 1 1/4 inches at widest, @ 2 1/2 inches long including crescent. Necklace is adorned with complementing agate carnelian, faceted glass & antiqued filigree beads, measuring at @ 18 - 22 inches long with chain extender. (length can be adjusted upon request when purchased ~ extender chain is added at no charge, but beadwork may be additional) Parrish Relics are one of a kind and handmade in my one-woman jewelry studio at Frog Hollow. Time and care is spent collecting tiny images that I find inspiring and captivating ~ Clay frames are formed around glass to pay tribute to the beautiful artwork they celebrate! Alchemically
