Vintage 1897 New Orleans, Louisiana Map Pendant - Handmade Jewellery
A pendant featuring an 1897 map of New Orleans isn’t just a piece of jewellery; it’s a tiny, wearable time capsule.

Perfect for the local with deep roots in New Orleans or the traveller who enjoyed a stroll in the French Quarter.
