Gorgeous Bling Necklace

SOLD

This necklace has its given name, as it so perfectly describes it.  I personally love this piece and would keep it, but I do need to reign in my personal collections at times.  My loss is your gain!

It is a generous 18" of silver tone chunky chain combined with a portion of antiqued copper tone chain near the focal to break it up a bit and add some color.  The palest of pink silk ribbon is tied to the joining point of the chain to the focal, which is a generous 2 1/4" length x 1 1/4" width vintage paste rhinestone piece.  Again there is patinae and some stones missing from this piece which only adds to the authenticity of the vintage redesign style.
