Nothing is more Dark Academia to me than cats in old libraries. I’m not 100% sure if there is a difference in my mind between Dark Academia aesthetic and a very 1920s aesthetic speakeasy, but in my mind, this necklace fits in both those categories.
The focal is an incredible artisan ceramic cat in a light gray/green glaze. I brought out this color with velvety golden obsidian faceted cubes which I paired with 16/0 gold seed beads, faceted smoky quartz, carved quartz, and some heavenly praisolite. Tiny accents around the focal and clasp also feature black spinel.
This is a mixed metal piece. The bail on the cat is steel accented with sterling silver. The crimps are gold fill. The clasp… oh, the clasp. I gasped when I saw it with the necklace. The clasp is an antique gold plated Tierracast pewter button and features a crystal set in the center.
This necklace is approximately 18” long. The focal hangs down 1 ¾”.
