It's been awhile since I've done a jewellery post. Mostly because I hardly ever wear jewellery.
But I recently came across something that was too cute to pass up -- a brass acorn locket necklace, picked up from the Drake General Store on Queen St. W., in Toronto, for $18.

The woman working the counter told me that many of the necklaces on display were made by the store using found objects/pendants. So in other words, I got the impression that they "found" the pendant, and then put it on a chain. Fine with me!
The locket has a vintage vibe, so upon getting home, I started doing some research. It actually DOESN'T seem to be a vintage piece. The locket may well be merely a commonly manufactured and simple-to-purchase bead, but regardless, at $18, the piece feels like a steal.
Check out these other online options I found. Nearly identical.

Acorn necklace from Etsy store bellabeadstudio, priced at $62 USD.
Alternately, this piece by Christine Domanic is a more affordable $36.
I'm a little bummed that my necklace isn't true vintage. (The Drake General Store maybe even have more of 'em for sale. I'm not sure.) I hunger for one-of-a-kind, but in this case, I think I can handle being one of the many.
I'll wear it proudly. Not everyday, mind you.
Know why?
'Cause sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't. ;)
