Bijoux Binge

I tend to go through periods where I try very hard to conserve and not indulge my consumerist desires, and then...I fall off the wagon in a display so grand, you could say I'm overcompensating for the lean months. "Wish Lists" and "Carts" are reviewed and checked out, and I'm high for days on the thrilling view of packages peeking out of my mailbox.

The latest binge includes a supposedly Georgian wax seal. It's huge and made of brass with intricate repousse.


 The seal features an agate stone.


I also acquired this Victorian quizzing glass. Repousse all over!


And finally, this base-metal locket with flourishes and flowers rounds out the collection.


All of these pendants will eventually become part of necklaces.
