Come, said the wind to
the leaves one day,
Come o're the meadows
and we will play.
Put on your dresses
scarlet and gold,
For summer is gone
and the days grow cold."

- A Children's Song of the 1880's


Lately, I'm finding myself drawn to a richer color palate.  Change in the weather?  Maybe.  This cloisonne pendant is the inspiration and foundation for this necklace.  Drawing from it's colors, I selected various beads to complement and complete this vibrant necklace.  Colors of rust, gold, bronze, black and green are found in the beaded portion.  Next, two types of chain encircle the beaded chain.  I've included a close up so you can see a sampling of various colors.  Materials in this necklace are: vintage brass, mother of pearl shell beads, fresh water pearls, assorted glass beads and copper beads and more.  There's quite a variety of shapes, sizes and textures;  all combined to make a one of a kind treasure.   This necklace is chockablock full of color and texture.

Here's a view of the clasp and the lock charm.  As you can see, the necklace is adjustable for customizing the length.


This necklace is adjustable up to 20" long.  Pendant length is 1.5".   A lobster clasp and lock charm complete this piece.
