Through the Looking Glass

I love unique statement necklaces.  Have a pendant with a funny animal, a piece of food, or a surprising inanimate object? I'll likely fall hard for it.

So it's no surprise that when I saw this vintage gold magnifying glass necklace from the 1970s, I knew it had my name written all over it.  The necklace is the perfect length (bonus points for showcasing...and magnifying...the bump!). It is very comfortable to wear, despite its size, it's not too heavy. And yes, the glass inside actually magnifies.  This necklace isn't just for looks, it actually works!

Thanks to Frippery Vintage for sending this unique piece over.  Check out this vintage jewelry site for one of a kind pieces that you wont find anywhere else. Isn't there something magical about owning something from the past that stands the test of time? Oh what stories these jewels could tell.... Most pieces are one-offs (so if you see something you like, you better snatch it up!), but she happens to have another magnifying glass necklace in her shop if you're interested. Don't wait too long or it will be gone! More about this awesome vintage jewelry shop here.
