Fortunate Growth
Elva Fields
How fortunate we are to be growing and learning, expanding in understanding with age and experience. Life is a gift and we're here to live and enjoy it. This effortless lovely is a reminder to take it all in with ease if we can, gratitude if we're able. Some of our all-time favorite beads, hand-wrought brass beauties from Mali, provide a single statement-making strand in burnished gold - and they're hollow, so it's a beautiful look without the weight. At their side is a 1960s or 70s bloom, a vintage enamel and goldtone brooch is soft metallic green for a cheerful, stylish hint of color. A hammered and gilt copper toggle brings the look together at back, measuring a flattering longer length of 22.5". (Brooch measures 3" diameter.)
