SALE PENDING Antique French Black Velvet Ribbon with Hand Stitched Steel Cut Beads and Marcasite Choker with Shoe clip Buckle

Jewelry : Antique : Fine : Mourning : Fine French Velvet Ribbon : Hand Cut Steel Buckle

 

I found this beautiful piece of antique black velvet with hand applied steel cut beads and marcasites in France. It has an equality as old, hand sewed snap on either side. It was clearly used as a choker and is of the Victorian period. I added this Hand cut French Buckle and what a fabulous necklace this has become! The French velvet ribbon measures 15 1/4" long. The original snaps can be moved to the edges if it is too short for you. I have not sewn the buckle to the velvet but there are 2 sew holes if you should choose to attach it this way. The velvet was extended (probably a hundred years ago or so) to lengthen it. It could be further lengthened if you have additional black velvet. It is just such a beautiful and unusual piece. A very beautiful piece. Enjoy.
