My mother's necklace

I found this beautiful enameled portrait pendant that was in my mothers jewelry case. I hadn't noticed her wearing it all that much but she must have because the hole where the bail went was almost worn through. This piece is enameled by Ruth Marcus. She lives/d here in Ohio but was from the Holocaust and has shown her tattooed numbers on her arm. I loved wearing this pendant but put it away from fear of loosing it. I needed to come up with a way to reinforce the hole. I decided to bezel the whole thing and it looks beautiful. I will post pictures very soon. Ta for today. Namaste
