Why You’ll Love It
Darkly elegant and incredibly delicate, this 1:12 scale dollhouse miniature choker necklace by Dutch artisan Sun Lemmens has the look of antique lace translated into miniature metalwork. The wide black floral filigree collar wraps gracefully around the neckline, accented with tiny dark gray/charcoal colored rhinestones and finished with a dangling Gothic-style cross at the center. Sun Lemmens is known for her finely detailed miniature jewelry, and this piece beautifully captures a Victorian Gothic mood. It is designed to work equally well as a dramatic display piece or as wearable jewelry for a favorite dollhouse doll. This is the most delicate piece I have ever held, it looks like last against the skin.
Perfect for
Gothic interiors, Victorian dressing rooms, mourning-inspired scenes, miniature jewelry boutiques, elegant bedrooms, doll displays, or collectors of artisan miniature jewelry.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
