I remember a thread about ugly rings and while I was practising with my new camera and tripod (it works) I remembered my ugly lady.  Art nouveau, probably from a fob chain.  I wanted a locket to put a little four-leafed-clover my father found and gave to me (real one) that had been pressed over 30 years ago and I found this.  I hesitated but then when I turned it over I found it had my eldest daughterŽs initials, so here it is in my collection. Here in Portugal people have the longest names possible and this daughter is Anna Maria and with a 7 (yes seven) word surname.  If you look you can see the initials even have a little "de" which is repeated twice in her name. 
 The first time I wore it the clover fell out and was never seen again but ugly lady stays on.

Joia, it's far from ugly. I think it's beautiful!!! It's so cool, that the pendant actually has your daughter's initials as well...especially since it's going to belong to her some day.

Can we please see a neck shot?

Thanks for your comment Diadiva.  As soon as I can IŽll take a neck shot
of my daughter (older ladies will appreciate what I mean by this). 
I am probably being mean about the poor lady - in the 1900Žs she was probably thought a raving beauty.

I think she's lovely-- she has that long, stem-like neck you see in some 19th century and earlier art... that long neck sort of went out of fashion with sloping shoulders.
