Sacred Heart of Mary on Velvet ChokerAlways a Victorian girl at heart, I thought that velvet chokers would be a wonderful way to give new life to the unique jewels I find in my travels. They were so popular throughout the 19th century, and then again in the nostalgic fashions of the 1990s. Each jewel is true antique or vintage & the velvet ribbon chokers were assembled by me. This one features a gold toned vintage sacred heart of Mary. The ribbon measures about 10. 5 with a 3 extender.

They are very hard to find

It dates to the mid-19th century

No illustrations or die cuts in this one

Condition is good with some bumped corners

The lives of nuns throughout history is one of my special interests

“Thou hast wreath’d a spell

Measured flat

dust-like flecks from age but is still good enough to use

there is a great pair of black eyes looking over my shoulder so that I must turn and answer them instead of you

Wear it as a necklace and let the whole world know what’s on your mind

Refer to photos for size and condition: Very good save for one chipped corner in the back

The handle looks like wood painted black
