St Petersburg Tear
One of our favourite releases from Alchemy Gothic's 2016 Spring collection is the St Petersburg Tear. An intricate, antiqued polished pewter, 18th century Baroque-style
choker set with a large, Swarovski black diamond crystal at its centre,
and two small white crystals either side and a black crystal dropper
beneath.
