Sacred Heart of Jesus Y Drop Necklace | Art Nouveau | Bronze Clay Antique Replica | Crown of Grace Designs

Sacred Heart of Jesus Y Necklace with a 1” drop. This petite Art Nouveau medal is very feminine and made from bronze clay in my studio. The welded links of this matte gold finish chain are circular in shape and perfectly delicate. A small lobster clasp finishes this piece off.

To gauge the size and proportions of this design, see the image of the necklace beside a quarter in the listing photos. A quarter is approximately 1” in diameter for reference.

Each antique medal in my Crown of Grace collection was lovingly searched for according to it’s age, shape, subject matter, and rarity. Many of the medals used during my hand replicating process are over a century old. I reproduce each piece by making a mold, hand pressing small batch bronze clay into the mold, drying, and kiln firing at 1420 degrees in a double carbon process. Each medal is hand wire brushed to give them a matte gold base and polished on the high relief areas to give them a luxurious Baroque light gold finish.

The chains that I use in my designs are hand selected to compliment the medals. They have a double layer of non tarnish matte gold finish for durability and tarnish resistance. In addition, they are nickel, cadmium, & lead free.
