This beautiful all hand crafted necklace was made using super fine silver wire, creating a true filigree design. The flowers range in size from about 10-15mm. The necklace is 18.5" long.
The center of each flower is held in by a brad. One of the brads is only half there but the center itself is fully secure so not sure if it was soldered at one time, as there are no indications. The metal used here is 80% pure silver. It's also sometimes referred to as "coin silver". It tarnishes easily giving it that patina we see.
I'm sure, if someone wanted, they could have a jeweler restore this to a reflective shine. I chose to leave it as is with only a soft surface wipe. These flowers make a lovely neck collar. I hope this will go on to be cherished by someone.
