The Chatelaine of Lagonsteed Manor ~
Every fine Manor house - with all of it's inner workings, attention to detail and endless tending to - needs an even finer soul to care for and oversee everyday duties, ensuring these tasks are seamlessly and mindfully executed in an orderly fashion.
The Chatelaine.
Keeper of the keys.
Order within the chaos.
Den mother.
Sleuth.
Intelligent,
perceptive,
fair &
genuine.
Just the individual you would want looking after your family home, heritage and most precious of traditions.
Lagonsteed Manor is one such home.
And Alma Percely is Lagonsteed's incomparable Chatelaine.
Nobly "keeping house" for nearly three decades.
Both proud and humbled by her work, Alma greets each day with the anticipation of all that is set before her as well as the unforeseeable challenges that can arise at any given moment.
She thrives on it. Wouldn't have it any other way.
After all, the Manor and it's inhabitants, have become her home and family too.
And there's no place she'd rather be.

In an ode to Alma, you will find an antique shield shaped buckle, depicting a dragon sea serpent-like creature - a nod to the Manor's namesake - chiming with six antique skeleton keys in varying shapes, sizes and purpose, held by bits of vintage steel curb chain.
The buckle itself hangs from a carefully hand-wired chain of stunning polished black Onyx with stations of antiqued silver filigree cupped micro-faceted grey Onyx.

The necklace measures 28" long including the lobster claw clasp.
The smallest key measures 1-1/4" long, the largest measures 3" long.
Note | The antique buckle bares a tiny repair on the backside - nothing to distract from it's beauty though, thankfully.
And, just in case you were wondering, it is surprisingly comfortable to wear - not nearly as weighty as it might look.
