Handmade with a curated mix of one-of-a-kind antique and foraged treasures.
At its center, a mid-19th-century Latin American Catholic educational merit medal, dated 1855, hand-engraved, silver. The inscription reads “Lecture No. 1” with “2nd Class” on the reverse — likely awarded within a formal academic or religious lecture setting, when scholarship and ceremony were closely intertwined. The lettering is cut by hand, each mark bearing the pressure of its maker, the surface softened by time.
Paired with a salvaged street-found house number “1,” once fixed to a façade and weathered by years outdoors — a quiet marker of place and beginnings.
A traditional Chinese braided cord binds the elements together. Historically used as symbols of protection and continuity, the unbroken knot speaks to endurance and connection across eras.
Finished with a hammered horse charm and oversized industrial clasp for modern utility.
Patina throughout. Movement in every layer.
Attach to purses, bags, belt loops, keyrings, or wherever your heart desires.
Measurements:
L 7 in.
W 2 in.
