The background...

This striking necklace features a vintage brass stamping of a female warrior, most likely representing Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, warfare, and handicraft. I’ve mounted it on a red enamelled cabochon, which I’ve placed in a vintage brass brooch setting. This is matched with lovely brass brick chain from the 1950s that I purchased in a vintage warehouse in New York some years ago. The extender chain is finished with a repurposed vintage bead.

The details...

  • sustainably and ethically made in Melbourne
  • unique
  • made with vintage materials c. 1950s-60s which may show signs of age in a deepened patina and minor wear
  • 49 cm in length with a 5.5 cm extender chain (refer to my necklace guide for more information about necklace lengths)
  • finished with a vintage hook clasp
