Women in Art / Asta necklace

This stunning statement necklace features an antique lace appliqué that I have bought from Stockholm last year. Surrounding it is a double strand of black czech glass beads, and very tiny antique silver foil glass seed beads. The teardrop shaped czech glass beads with a copper coloured lining are vintage from 1930s, previously unused so they are as new. Clasp and findings are silver.
Length of necklace approx. 49cm, size of lace approx. 10 x 10cm. The necklace also comes with an extension of 8cm, for adjusting the length to your liking. I have added the extension after taking the photos, so let me know if you wish to see what it looks like. It is a simple strand of the same black czech glass beads that are used throughout the necklace.

This delicately handcrafted necklace has an unusual, fascinating and unique appearance. I would perhaps mainly recommend wearing it so that the lace part sits on top of clothing. It looks stunning on for example a black, brown cream or olive green top. Needless to say, it is an entirely one of a kind, special piece.

Handmade with love and care with great quality vintage and new materials, in my little studio in Helsinki.
