Grisaille Cherub Edwardian Silver Paste Locket Necklace - Elyse Necklace

A precious hand-painted grisaille watercolor of a mischievous little Putti was recently commissioned to marry the charming folklore of it’s antique counterparts with a beautiful Edwardian double glazed silver paste locket. This stunning locket, replete with a charming bow top, is a perfect frame to showcase the miniature art - which is a study in shades of gray. However, there is a very unique surprise on the other side - a diminutive Byzantine cross in 24k gold vermeil, floating in a sea of minuscule emeralds. The necklace is composed of gorgeous emeralds and green onyx beads interspersed with gray pearls flanking bezel set pyrite accents stationed along the chain. An emerald briolette capped with a profusion of textural gold vermeil rings, hangs delicately from the toggle clasp to make your exit just as dramatic as your entrance. Size: 30.5” long / 3.5” drop / locket .98” wide
