Pocket Watch Case

Vintage Pocket Watch Case Pendant Necklace – Hand Painted Running Rabbits & Stars – 14K Gold Filled Bar Chain. This is a lovely, high-quality vintage Japanese damascene necklace paired with a hand-painted antique pocket watch case. The delicate gold-tone and matte black chain features links with traditional Japanese motifs and retains its original damascene clasp. Inside the gold-filled watch case locket is a tiny, detailed miniature painting of running rabbits and stars in silver and gold on a black ground. I painted this miniature myself using gouache-an ancient medium traditionally used for fine miniature art. The painting measures just 1 inch in diameter and is sealed beneath an antique pocket watch crystal for protection. The gold-filled watch case is accented with small black spinel cluster bead drops, adding a beautiful touch of movement and sparkle. The necklace measures 16 inches long. A truly spectacular, one-of-a-kind assemblage piece.
