This distinctive and imaginative necklace is a celebration of reinvention, crafted from an unexpected medley of reclaimed silver-tone chains in contrasting weights and textures. At its centre, a vintage working lorgnette – a folding pair of magnifying glasses – is elegantly framed by a sparkling, stylised leaf detail, lending the piece a refined yet playful air.

The arrangement of chunky and fine chains creates movement and intrigue, with layers that catch the light in different ways. The lorgnette measures approximately 5.5 × 3 cm when closed and 11.5 × 3 cm when opened, while the necklace itself is around 76 cm long.

“…I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW, THE RAIN IS GONE
I CAN SEE ALL OBSTACLES IN MY WAY
GONE ARE THE DARK CLOUDS THAT HAD ME BLIND
IT’S GONNA BE A BRIGHT (BRIGHT), BRIGHT (BRIGHT)
SUN-SHINY DAY…”

This is an upcycled necklace made entirely from reclaimed (used, vintage, and antique) materials, each with its own history and gentle signs of age. Please refer to the images for condition and further details.
