An utterly feminine, gloriously bold interpretation of Spanish lace done in silver, this necklace WILL turn heads!  And here’s the best part:  it’s actually TWO looks in one, thanks to that fabulous centerpiece that can be detached and worn separately as a brooch.  The teardrop-accented centerpiece is perfectly complemented by jointed necklace segments ending in a simple, easy-to-latch hook closure. Absolutely beautiful, intricate etching on each element with completely intact niello, (rare for a piece of this age).   Substantial in appearance, the entire ensemble is weighted to lie perfectly and feel comfortable worn either as a collar or as a brooch.
