Emerald Twilights . Asymmetrical Emerald Necklace

Description

Twisted like the tangled moss that hangs from a live oak tree, this asymmetrical necklace is a gleaming delight!

The right side begins with two delicate metal flowers set with large emerald rhinestones. The flower petals connect with three golden chains in double oval, curb, and flat bar chain that connects to golden bead and emerald glass beaded chain. These chains sweep and gently twist to the left side where they are joined with five oval loops. The back is finished with a small double oval chain, a single emerald faceted Swarovski crystal bead, and a new toggle clasp.

Approx. Length ~ 31” Drape Length (Outter Chain) and 30” Fit Length (Inner Chain)

All patinas are natural and created over time. Authentic vintage, one-of-a-kind.

Inspired by Sidney Lanier’s “The Marshes of Glynn”.

"Glooms of the live-oaks, beautiful-braided and woven
With intricate shades of the vines that myriad-cloven
Clamber the forks of the multiform boughs,—
Emerald twilights,—
Virginal shy lights,
Wrought of the leaves to allure to the whisper of vows,
When lovers pace timidly down through the green colonnades
Of the dim sweet woods, of the dear dark woods,
Of the heavenly woods and glades,
That run to the radiant marginal sand-beach within
The wide sea-marshes of Glynn;—

Beautiful glooms, soft dusks in the noonday fire,—
Wildwood privacies, closets of lone desire,
Chamber from chamber parted with wavering arras of leaves,—
Cells for the passionate pleasure of prayer to the soul that grieves,
Pure with a sense of the passing of saints through the wood,
Cool for the dutiful weighing of ill with good;—..."
