Reinvented Miser's Purse Necklace Creatures including lamps for ships andA magnificent 19th century Victorian misers purse cunningly transformed into a contemporary piece of wearable art. The original cut steel embellishments are in perfect condition and we have threaded an array of haematite and acrylic beads through the original crochet work so that the purse can still be used. These beautiful works of art became known as misers purses because their diminutive openings made it difficult to retrieve coins.
