Your Own Kind of Awesome
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.
From Fall 2016, thirteen strands of elegant rich brown horn beads make a stylish statement, and we didn't change a thing about it when it returned unworn (tag intact!) to our studio this summer. There's nothing more beautiful than being your own kind of awesome, and this statement-making style is along for the ride--wherever it takes you. Strands of polished horn beads mixed with costume pearls create a drape so dramatic, you'll be hard-pressed to find much else more scene-stealing than their lovely layers. Brought together with a vintage brass buckle, the clasp may be worn at the side of the strands for an asymmetrical look or at back for a straightforward strand-focused style--either way, you're awesome and amazing. Measures 21" in length, shortest strand.
