The Courting of Adelaide
This richly romantic necklace was made for the wire artisan's guild theme of "passion". It would be perfect for a bride or for anybody wanting a unique and eyecatching piece of jewelry.
The frame was made with medium-gauge wire that has been shaped, hammered, and coiled with fine-gauge wire. It was then embellished with tiny silver beads and beautiful faceted ruby rondelles and pear-shaped briolettes. The clusters are comprised of faceted crystal quartz and ruby rondelles. All gems are of excellent quality.
It is gracefully suspended from a delicate, yet strong rope-style chain and finished with a handmade hook clasp and 2 inch chain extender.
To bring out the wire textures and to add an "old world" feel to the piece, I have oxidized and hand polished it.All metal components are sterling silver.
Measurement: Adjustable between 15 1/5 and 17 1/2. I can always re-size it for you at no extra charge.
Focal Dimensions: 2 3/4 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches tall from the top to the bottom of the cluster.

WOW, that is a wonderful looking necklace. Make me think of Alice and Wonderland, Queen of Hearts for some reason.
I'm a fan of all your creations. I own a pair of your earrings and they are one of my favorites, ever.

Thank you Celeste! That's a great name for them---why didn't I think of that? It was for a "theme" challenge of passion, so I chose something frou frou, LOL!! Glad you love my earrings, that's what keeps me going!
