The Fiesta Necklace

These beads came from a vintage necklace I found at the Round Top antiques fair. I took it apart and gave the beads a new life as a cluster at the end of a gold curb chain. Turquoise-blue horns are wire-wrapped in gold and hang beside marigold-yellow rounds, frosted white beads, and tiny flashes of red. Each one is on its own small link, so the whole cluster moves when you do.

It’s a Y-necklace, so the drop runs straight down the center, which suits a one-shoulder top, a strapless neckline, or a plain white tee. It’s bright, a little playful, and very Southwestern. Wear it when you want a cheerful piece.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece, so the necklace you see is exactly the one you’ll receive.
