Introducing: The Mermaid's Heirloom




An image of a Mermaid is encased behind a rosey aureoric bubble made of glass. Framing it is an intricately carved resin clay design with flowers, leaves, tendrils and berries with a "Found Mithril" paint finish with patinas for an ancient look.

A Swarovski crystal in golden rainbow Topaz tones sparkles above, inside a curl of tendrils and a tiny golden Topaz Rhinestone sparkles below the glass bubble.

Czech glass beads in rosey peach tones, peach dyed Mother of Pearl slabs and antiqued brass and copper elements adorn this hand-crafted silver plated chain.

A champagne Fresh Water Pearl alongside a czech glass bead acompany a gorgeous tiny copper butterfly locket charm on the right of the pendant, and a brass-tone key drops at the very bottom next to the Mother of Pearl drop.

A collection of imagery, tokens and safekeeping elements speak of an heirloom perhaps passed through many generations in a Mermaid's life. Perhaps lost for aeons, and now found ashore.. Does it guide to a Mermaid's treasure? What does the key unlock?..

This Fairytale necklace is a one of a kind creation by Lorianne Jäntti for Plumevine.

Approximate measurements:
total length (from clasp to bottom of pendant): 31.5cm, adjustable
pendant length: 11cm
pendant width: 4cm

This is the last one of a kind piece I had to complete for now. There's a new collection coming up that I'm really excited about, a collaboration with a fellow artist and dear friend. I won't reveal anything other than the name: "The Faerie Labirynth Collection" - Coming VERY soon, so stay tuned!
