BIRD

These gorgeous glass bird necklaces feature genuine swap cards that are over 100 years old.

The Wills' Cigarette Company gave out cards featuring Australian and New Zealand birds based on drawings from the 1800s. These highly collectable cards were circulated in 1912.

We have placed each antique card in a stainless steel bevel and sealed it with a slightly domed glass cabochon. The cabochon gives the card a slight magnification of detail as well as a lovely sense of depth.

The necklaces have been presented on a 50cm Italian sterling silver fine curb chain.

We hope you'll embrace their state. The passage of time has left some signs of wear. We believe this only adds to their charm and authenticity - they do after all, carry a century of history.
