It's incredible how a shift in perspective can reveal the truth of a situation, and the lens through which you view it is entirely up to you.  Like this design--you can decide to wear the Victorian buckle, its brass filigree and turquoise glass adornment bringing beauty and charm, at the side of the strands or around back to allow the polished lapis and faceted turquoise beads to be the main attraction.  Either perspective is true and wonderful, and the choice is all your own.  Measures 17.5" in length.
