The background…

This elegant y-shaped necklace features an antique optometrist glass test lens dating from the 1890s to 1920s. The lens is rated at +4.5 which means that it has a magnifying effect.  I’ve created the chain with vintage Czech garnet glass beads, brass wire and a vintage 3-way connector. It has an inbuilt extender chain, meaning that the length can be modified as desired.  

The detail…

  • sustainably and ethically made in Melbourne
  • made with antique and vintage materials which may show signs of their age in a deepened patina and minor wear
  • it measures up to 63 cm around the neck edge with the inbuilt extender (refer to my necklace guide for more information about necklace lengths)
  • The pendant section has an 18 cm drop
