necklace - Keystone Sunflower

Keystone Sunflower necklace Sterling Silver and Swarovski 42cm

(CC0145) Swarovski Keystone 5181, Swarovski Sunflower color, Sterling Silver, necklace

I confess, I LOVE this subtle yet dramatic necklace. It's colors are so subtle it can go with your most demure outfit. And yet, it looks superb with a dramatic garment. In real life, the colors looks much lighter and more subtle than I have been able to capture. Yet when the light hits it, it will take your breath away.

Made with the amazing Swarovski Keystone bead and newest right Sunflower XILION bicone beads with Swarovski pearls, top grade Cubic Zirconia double-drilled faceted beads - strung on sterling silver wire and closed off with the flowing Sterling Silver eternity lobster/parrot clasp - this is an addition to your collection that you will treasure through the years.

Ideal for left or right handed person because both the Swarovski Keystone beads and the CZ rectangular beads are faceted on both sides.

The bottom row of the central focal is strung with strong Swarovski pearl threading and knotted in-between each bead; stoppered at the end with a tiny, sparkly Swarovski bead. Super security stringing.

Approximate length: 42cm

Construction Notes

I have taken a lot of pictures for this piece to help me document (and remember) the construction which is made in various parts. The top holes are strung on sterling silver wire and looped off at both ends. Then attached to the custom made chains.

The bottom row of the central piece is strung after using Swarovski pearl thread and stopped at each end with Swarovski 5000 beads - 2.5mm. There is knotting in-between each bead for super security and then doubled back (from each end) to way past the middle for even more security.

Most of the other important construction notes are as per photos.
