Palm Tree Lined Street Necklace

Description

Southern California is famous for its Palm Lined Boulevards and I have walked and driven down them all of my life.

This necklace features one such street. Thirteen palm trees of varying height are stamped onto a slightly curved strip of sterling silver. A copper strip is riveted to the base of the silver with three sterling silver rivets representing the asphalt of the street. The trees are oxidized dark. It is suspended from two jump rings at the top of each side of the silver. The necklace measures 18 inches and the chain has a spring ring clasp. The jump rings are each soldered closed. The palm tree part of the necklace measures 2 3/16 inches (55 mm.) long and 7/16 inch (11 mm.) high.
