Champagne drinker's Medal

Published:

Description

This one of a kind fine bit of Steampunkery is fashioned around a Champagne capsule, which is the little metal cap that sits atop the cork, beneath the wire cage that holds the "Bubbly" captive. It came from a high quality vintner from the Rheims region in France.

Inscribed on the capsule is the script," Un Espirit l'Exellence" which means, of course, A spirit of excellence..

I myself can vouch for the quality of this particular vintage...**Hic**.

The medal itself is beautifully embellished with a large vintage brass clock gear and ornate little bronze tone wings, and as a really lovely finishing touch, the black military ribbon drape is given the royal treatment with an ornate bit of filigree bronze tone pewter scroll work.

The Medallion is also suspended from a short length of vintage brass clock chain, rather than the standard jump ring. The chain will add a good looking touch, and higher level of sturdiness to the piece, for added duability.

Why do you need a medal, you might ask?
