013 — The Golden Heirloom

The Golden Heirloom is a one-of-a-kind statement necklace created from an original Victorian belt buckle set with warm amber-colored faceted glass stones and clear glass rhinestones. The historic buckle hardware remains intact, preserving evidence of the piece’s original purpose and adding to its distinctive antique character.

Three suspended faceted glass drops add movement and golden brilliance beneath the buckle, while the substantial antiqued Rolo chain gives the necklace strength and presence. The result is a dramatic wearable relic that preserves the craftsmanship and history of the original Victorian component.
