I dug deep into some vintage handmade Italian aventurina (goldstone) beads I had hidden away, probably 30 years ago. Probably more. Yes, I've been collecting beads since I was a teenager. I pulled out gold-filled chain and mixed it with with gold-filled accent beads and some vermeil, which is a lovely, quality gold-plating over sterling silver.
You simply put this beauty over your head and let it shine! I have loved the ease of putting a necklace over my head lately, without a clasp to fasten.
14K gold-filled chain and details. Along with this fabulous, vintage lampwork glass bead, I selected a gorgeously beautiful shimmery pearl, and the swirled 14K gold-filled charm is from my trip to Israel in 2021. Exquisite details!
About 34" long, plus the 1-3/8" length drops.
One of the images here pictures this piece doubled up, which works beautifully if you like choker length designs. The bottom image pictures a few of these "over the head" designs in hand at a recent art festival, in indirect sunlight.
If you would prefer this a different length, please let me know. I would be happy to alter this to make you perfectly content. Enjoy!
