Retro 60s, Vintage Crystal Beads, Swarovski Crystal Beads, Mad Men Look

Description

I created this necklace as homage to the groovy mod look of the 60s. It would look fantastic with a little black dress. I used Swarovski Crystal AB beads as well as vintage crystal beads. The vintage crystal beads are from the 40s to 50s and are beautiful. They were from an auntie's estate and originally came from a well known southern department store. I filled in the necklace with Swarovski artemis, round and marguerite beads along with rhinestone spacers. The necklace measures 19 ¾ inches long. The clasp is a silverplate lobster clasp with a 2 inch handmade beaded extender. I use only the finest 49 strand beading wire and finish each strand with silver plated wire guards.
