Vintage Japanese Damascene Necklace with Hand Painted Rabbit Moon Stars in Antique Gold Filled Watch Case. This is a lovey, nice quality, original vintage Japanese Damascene Necklace paired with a hand painted, antique watch case. This delicate gold tone and matte black necklace has links with Japanese Motifs and the original damascene clasp.
A tiny highly detailed rabbit, sitting on the moon, with stars in black & gold has been hand painted and encased in the gold filled watch case locket This miniature painting is done by me in gouache, an ancient medium, use to paint miniatures for hundreds of years. The tiny painting measures only 3/4 of inch in diameter. The painting has been sealed and is protected with a antique pocket watch crystal. The gold filled watch and has a pretty etched design on the front and has a tiny gold & black spinel cluster bead drops. It measures 1 inch by 1-1/4 of an inch to the end of the bead drops. The length of the chain measures 19 inches in diameter. A truly spectacular, One of a Kind, Assemblage Piece.
