Our Lady of Mount Carmel | Statement Necklace | Bronze Clay | Matte Gold | Antique Replica | Catholic Medal

This gorgeous Lady of Mount Carmel statement piece is a show stopper! This bronze clay replica was created in my studio from a very substantial antique medal. The original had been cut about a quarter of the way through. Most likely to test to see if the metal was valuable. I was able to repair the cut with clay in order to make a functional mold. The bronze replica hangs from an Art Nouveau link bale attached with two etched jump rings. The chain has alternating large links with texture and ridges and is finished with a tarnish resistant coating. This piece wears beautifully and has the appearance of a very expensive piece of fine jewelry!
