Antique Timepiece (Steampunk) Necklace Pendant No.29
Circa 1780 Verge Fusee Pocket Watch Movement (Upper and Pillar Plates) by William Bluck of London, England

Sold as: PENDANT ONLY, or PENDANT WITH CHAIN (see details below)

A Stunningly beautiful example of old world craftsmanship that's been repurposed into an heirloom piece of jewelry. The centerpiece of this necklace pendant is the complete upper plate of a circa 1780 Verge Fusee pocket watch movement - with its ornate hand carved/pierced floral filigree design. The plate is disassembled and each component is painstakingly polished, metallic foil added underneath the filigree parts, re-assembled, crystals added, then coated in a thick layer of epoxy resin. The Pillar Plate, with some remaining components has been cleaned and prepared - along with shortening the Egyptian Pillars, is mounted to the upper plate and adorned with a multi crystal spacer and Ruby and Ruby AB Swarovski crystal rhinestones.

The movement is mounted to a 1/16" acrylic disc that has a cut-out for the gold plated bail and a pour of red mica tinted epoxy completely encapsulates the bail, which makes it a permanent part of the pendant - and the larger diameter bail will fit most chains without the need for additional mounting rings.

- Available STAINLESS STEEL ROPE CHAIN:
Durable and easy to maintain, these necklaces are made from 304 Stainless Steel that hold up well to the rigors of daily use with very little tarnish, and they are a perfect fit for John Galen Necklace Pendants, which come with oversize bails that fit this necklace without the use of an additional ring that can easily break.

METAL ALLERGIES NOTICE: 304 stainless steel and 316L surgical steel have extremely low Nickel levels and are often safe to wear even for individuals with a Nickel allergy to enjoy wearing occasionally. 304 stainless steel has 8% Nickel, compared to 10% in 316L Nickel, making it the safest of all stainless steel. 18ct Gold Plated Stainless Steel is even safer, but the gold can wear thin over time - exposing the stainless steel underneath. 304 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel and 74% iron.
