It's A Cinch
Elva Fields
From one of our favorite customer's beloved and extensive collection of Elva necklaces, a group of nearly 20 necklaces returned to our studio to be Re-Vintaged now that this lovely lady is downsizing and more selective in what she is able to wear. Many of her necklaces have never been worn and remain in immaculate condition (most still featured their original hand-written and hand-tied tags!) Of offering this batch of necklaces, our client says, "I am thrilled with the thought that my pieces may go to someone who will treasure them as I do the ones I wear. It had bothered me for years that [some of] my 'beauties' sat in a drawer, not worn, not enjoyed. I did love looking at them and admiring their creativity. But, now I hope someone else can wear and cherish them. My students always loved my necklaces; sometimes I got their attention when they commented. I loved that! But, now retired and with no one to leave my jewelry to, I am pleased to know it will be in the hands ( necks ) of others." It feels especially meaningful to share this client's collection on the occasion of our 20th birthday, as she has been along for the ride for more than half of that journey, and we are grateful for her encouragement, support, and kindness through all of these years.
In its original pristine condition from our Winter 2018 Collection, it's a cinch to see why this one's so wonderful: from the midnight-blue metallic twinkle of faceted crystal beads to the gilt finish of its vintage buckle - complete with a playful double buckle design - there is much to love and enjoy. Best of all, the buckle becomes the necklace's clasp and may be worn at either side for added glamour, or around back to allow the beautiful beads to sparkle on their own for a more straightforward look. Measures 18.5" in length.
