Description
I have taken an antique silver pocket watch back with a striped pattern, and added a vintage black glass inside the frame. I then secured an antiqued silver dagger charm with a red Swarovski crystal to the back. This comes with a 24 inch ball chain and a burgundy velvet bag.This black glass is sometimes called a Scrying mirror or a Claude Glass.
A Scrying glass is used to see things psychically, to obtain spiritual visions and messages, and also for purposes of divination or fortune-telling. It is often used as a means of divining the past, present, or future. Scrying is actively used by many cultures and belief systems and is not limited to one tradition or ideology.
This pocket glass can also be used as a Claude Glass. Named for Claude Lorrain, a 17th century landscape painter, black mirrors were used by artists and connoisseurs of landscape painting. A black mirror or Claude Glass has the effect of abstracting the landscape reflected in it from its surroundings, reducing and simplifying the color and hues of the scene.
