CHRISTMAS CRAFT FAIR TODAY!

Simple Joys Soldered Charms ~ $17 each plus shipping

(to purchase email me at honeysucklelane@hotmail.com)

All of my charms have a high quality sepia print of an antique photograph from my collection of photos from the late 1800s and early 1900s. They have a word collage on the back, which includes vintage letter or word cards, old dictionary pages, snippets from vintage holiday wrapping paper, etc. The background behind the word collage is a decorative, textured cardstock.

Finishes: Some of the soldered charms have been given a blackened patina. Others have been left silver, but a black patina can be applied at no extra cost. A copper patina has been applied to #14 (but I could not get it to take on a ball chain).

Chains: You may choose a 24" ball chain, a coordinating ribbon, or a scrolled hanger to go with each charm. Ball chains and scrolled hangers are nickel plated, and may be aged with a black patina if desired. Ribbons vary, but you may choose one that you see in the examples as long as supplies last.

Sizes: #1 is 1 ½” square, all the rest are 1” x 3”

All are made with lead-free solder.

Use as a necklace, an ornament, a rear view mirror pendant, etc.
