Treasures of the Earth Necklace

Description

Size: Longest leaf: 1 7/8 inches (4.8cm) long.
18 inch necklace, with a 2 inch extender chain.

This necklace is a beautiful mix of fall color leaves, and rich lustrous freshwater pearls. This necklace is elegant and dramatic, but also very light to wear, because the leaves are made of polymer clay.

The central leaf is 1 7/8 inches (4.8cm) long; the long side leaves are 1 5/8 inches (4.2cm) long. The leaves next to the central leaf are 1 1/16 inch (2.7cm) long; the smallest leaves are 15/16 inches (2.4cm) long. The backs of the leaves are smooth, and are marked with my personal signature stamp.

Beautiful Freshwater pearls in a slightly rosy bronze, Czech Pressed Glass roundels in a rich brown, and small tortoise colored glass beads make up this necklace. The leaves are molded from real leaves from my yard; each one is beautifully textured, in a dark gold color, with dark bronze highlights on the leaf veins. The leaves twist and curl slightly making them feel all the more real.

Double strung on beading thread for durability. Findings are gold toned. Necklace has a lobster claw clasp, and a 2 inch long gold toned extender chain embellished with a single freshwater pearl drop.

With the extender chain the necklace can be anywhere from 18 inches long to 20 inches long.
