MADE IN THE DEEP SOUTH | 1960s Artist-Signed Crest & Agate Necklace

This one is spectacular. The moody blue agate paired with that incredible oversized vintage gold crest makes it feel collected, dramatic and completely one of a kind. Wear it with a crisp white shirt, a great dress, or even a simple tee and let the necklace do ALL the work.

DESCRIPTION

A true one-of-one statement piece from Made in the Deep South, created by bringing together vintage elements sourced from different collectors across the country.

This necklace features 1960s agate beads sourced from a California collector, with gorgeous variations of smoky blue, slate, deep navy and plum. At the center hangs an extraordinary artist-signed vintage crest from a Florida collector, creating a substantial statement pendant with beautiful dimensional detailing.

Made in the Deep South creates jewelry from vintage and antique treasures collected from around the world, deconstructing and reimagining them into entirely new pieces. No two are alike, and the history of the individual components becomes part of the finished design. The brand itself describes its pieces as unique creations built from vintage and antique elements, some dating to the 1800s. 

This isn’t simply vintage-inspired jewelry. The vintage pieces are the jewelry.

Why We Love It

The color combination is what gets me. Those incredible stormy blue agates make the antique-looking gold crest feel even richer. It’s substantial without feeling costume-y, and there is absolutely nothing cookie-cutter about it.
