France

The Paris flea markets have a certain elegance not found at typical second-hand vendors. Amidst what looked like a Versailles yard sale, I found delicate “200-year–old lace” that I have cast and made into pieces. Yes, the Madame vender may have been full of merde and the lace might not have been through wars and great literature, but the derivative jewelry is meant to reflect the elegance found in the Paris flea market. The pendant is roughly 1 inch by 1 inch and is drizzled with six white diamonds.
