A curved vintage brass focal is brushed and attached to vintage oval link chain, then finished off with a handmade hook and eye clasp. The front of the charm is buffed with museum wax, and the back is varnished.

Such a simple, modern and flattering shape! The vintage brass version is limited, but I will make something similar, and in different metals at some point in time. It will be cut from sheet with a saw, making it a bit more costly than this necklace.

Brass will tarnish quicker than sterling, but it’s easy to keep the brushed finish by using a bit of fine sandpaper. Grandpa, Dad, or the Hubby should have some knocking around in the garage, but if not, you can find it in your local hardware store.

Charm measures approx. 1.5″ wide, necklace 18″ from end to end.
