I'm not an American, but I was so drawn to this pendant necklace I found in Toronto's Continuum Modern Vintage, a lovely vintage-esque shop on Pape at Danforth. The pendant reminds me of one of those bead counting toys (can never remember the name) that kids learn to count with.
As you may be able to see by the tag, it's a Sarah Coventry piece. SC jewellery is pretty easy to find, quite collectible though not worth tons of bucks. I don't care as I love the SC bling from the 1960s and 70s.
Though I sometimes wear this shade of blue, I don't wear these colours, really (and who, other than an American patriot, would wear them all together?), so I'm still not sure what I'll wear this with. But don't you worry, I will find my way with it!
Abacus??
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely piece. I can understand how it could be slightly awkward to wear when your not American. I'm sure you will find a way!

A Royalist, of course! It's a shame you didn't find it before the Royal wedding, you could have flogged it to a Brit. x
ReplyDeleteOhhh how fun!

VintageSweetheart, you're right! I can never remember the name so I just call it that county bead thing!
ReplyDeleteVix, forgive me, how could I have forgotten the Brits? For shame. Sometimes the obvious passes me by!
Thanks Stacey Kay!
British colours too! You can always wear it on your next trip over here with your crushed velvet suit, Austin Powers style!
