One-of-a kind artisan made necklace, loaded with sterling silver and natural red coral beads. Beads are a bit rustic, not polished or in any particular shape or size.
Includes handmade twisted silver wire "rope", handmade loop and eye closure, hand made links and chain, and ten wire wrapped natural coral beads.
I made this necklace in the mid-2000s during a season when I created many original jewelry pieces. Along with other items, it was featured in an art gallery in my town of Scottsdale, Arizona for a period of time. The gallery closed in 2008, a result of the financial troubles of the era. I have stored my jewelry pieces, and am now offering them for sale.
Size: about 21 inches (53.5 cm); there is a 3 inch (7.5 cm) extender chain
Condition: Excellent; the silver is intended to look old and a little bit dark. If desired, it can be polished with #0000 size steel wool (wire wool). While wearing rubber gloves, make a one-inch ball of steel wool by rolling a piece of the wool between the two palms of your hands. Rub with light to medium pressure where you would like to brighten the silver.
I have more jewelry and other great things. Please see my other listings.
