Gone with the Wind
elva
A first here at Elva, we found this windmill and were instantly smitten--especially when it came as part of a vintage English horse brass that would have originally been threaded onto the leather bridle of a horse. (Equestrian AND interesting? Yes, please!) Next for the beads, which also had our heart upon discovery on a buying trip last year. We've waited a while to find the right fit for them, and we couldn't be more pleased with the pairing. Carved bone beads show the most wonderful floral form, each bead like a blossom, creating a garland-like effect with the strands in their creamy color and elegant shape. Faceted Indian brass beads add some golden glimmer throughout the strands, and a gilt copper toggle clasps the necklace at back. Measures a longer, flattering length of 25" overall.
