Details

Objet Trouvé is a collection of enchanting jewelry inspired by the romance of history, the allure of antique treasures, and timeless sophistication. Designed by Lidy Baars, exclusively for FrenchGardenHouse.

Antique treasures that were never originally meant to be worn together are ones I love bringing together most.. This one-of-a-kind Objet Trouvé necklace brings together an antique gold-filled locket, a wonderful Victorian chatelaine pencil in gold with a twist-off top and tiny purple amethyst, and a carved mother-of-pearl cross. Each has its own history and its own beauty, yet together they make an unexpected combination that feels as though it has been collected over time.

I love the little Victorian chatelaine pencil most of all, especially the tiny purple amethyst set into its top. The chunky paperclip chain is flash-plated 18K gold over stainless steel and closes with a toggle at the front. At 19 1/2" long, the necklace has a wonderful presence without feeling overly formal. The antique locket, luminous mother-of-pearl cross, and tiny chatelaine pencil each bring something different to the necklace, yet somehow they all belong together. That is the fun of Objet Trouvé.

  • Measures 19-1/2" l.

Collector’s Notes.

Chatelaines were practical accessories worn by women in the 19th century, suspended from the waist and fitted with small useful objects such as scissors, keys, watches, and pencils.

Finding an antique chatelaine pencil with its original character intact is a wonderful little piece of history in itself. Here, I have given it a completely different life, pairing it with an antique locket and carved mother-of-pearl cross to create a necklace that is entirely one of a kind.
