I went to the Feira de Ladra ("thieve's market") the Lisbon, Portugal flea market in July 2010.
After a long, hot morning of searching through piles of old cassettes, sunglasses, hardware and other odds-and-ends, I found several adornments.
I've been hoarding the special treasures I bought that day, waiting for the right inspiration.
Here's the first of the new pieces:
I don't know the vintage of this mother-of-pearl charm, but it is old. It's hung on moonstone & 14GF chain, with a bronze freshwater pearl & peridot accent.
One side has a picture of a pagoda.
The other side features geometric carvings.
It looks pretty on either side!
I'll continue posting new pieces as I make them.
