The first series of Archery inspired pieces were made as a Valentine’s theme of work.
This beautiful equestrian medal was found in Paris.
The silver mother medal was awarded in celebration of motherhood and was granted by the French Minister of the Interior for successfully raising large families.
The starburst Al Merito medal is from Peru and is quite a stunning piece.
I came across the vintage red lock in Cambria recently and thought it was sweet~ and would make a darling Valentine’s gift.
The gold plated cross and wreath medal is a bit of a mystery to me. It is from Canada and the engraving is written in Italian? The piece is dated 1892.
And for inspiration I present a little collection I purchased last year in Petaluma~
All the best to you and please return soon to see what I’ve been up to!
By now you can tell I’m a hunter… this extended Winter morning I am relishing in the shiny glow of my exquisite new finds…
This necklace is home to the most beautiful medal I have ever come across. This French accolade was awarded to mothers of large families in 1920.
What a beautiful thing to nationally recognize the honor of motherhood link.
The front of the piece hosts a young woman holding a nest with birds encircling her, a banner near the top features a multitude of children playing.
The reverse has thorny branches reaching in a circular pattern to cradle the nest of two love birds.
My photos do no justice to this well earned treasure.
