this is a hand-cast reproduction of a cocktail pick from the historic
Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City. in the 1930's until the 50's,
they were used to skewer martini olives at the hotel's bar. this light-colored
brass version has traces of polishing rouge still visible in the indentations,
adding to it's well-used, antique look. the double-sided pendant is
2 3/4" long, and the end has been rounded to prevent it from stabbing
anyone accidentally. a short 15" length of antique faceted brass
chain is threaded directly through a small hole in the skewer and closes
in the back with a brass spring ring clasp. the necklace hangs high
up on the chest, close to the neck.
