Product Description:
"The 'Red Death' had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal -- the redness and the horror of blood. Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys.It was a voluptuous scene, that masquerade."
~Poe, "The Masque of Red Death"
A mysterious and sultry piece, this necklace is not for the faint of heart (or fashion!). A beautiful masked courtier (an altered antique photograph) peers from inside a circular resin pendant, seeming unaware of the bat alighting behind her. The resin is cast in a flattened half-circle, and protrudes from an antique brass filigree. All this is encircled by a dramatic swoop of black crow feathers, wired firmly in place and sure to flutter with passing breezes. A gold fire-polished Czech glass bead and natural obsidian bead peek out from the nest of feathers.
The pendant hangs from a delicate 15" gold-plated chain, which is interrupted by a strand of gorgeous gold Czech glass beads, natural 4mm obsidian beads, and 6mm natural jet round beads, randomly ordered.
All Lad Named Felix pieces are one-of-a-kind, and no duplicates will be made! This piece is literally unique in every sense.
