Small in stature, steadfast through the centuries.
Poucette features a vintage deep brown cameo depicting Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and warfare. Time has left its mark upon her, softening the details and wearing away portions of her original surface. Carefully cleaned but intentionally left unrestored, these imperfections are part of her history and charm.
The aged cameo (circa 1890-1910 France) rests within a handcrafted sterling silver setting, complete with an individually fabricated clip-style bail. This versatile design allows Poucette to wander well beyond the traditional necklace. Wear her suspended from the accompanying chain or clip her onto a favorite belt, pearls, pocket, tote, scarf, jacket, or corset.
The 24" stainless steel chain features an eclectic arrangement of beads in the rich, moody colors of Hortense, accented with warm brass wire details.
A one-of-a-kind treasure from the Hortense collection, celebrating the imperfect, the forgotten, and the beautiful things worthy of another life.
