It's a Jolly Holiday Necklace

When the day is gray
And ordinary
Mary makes the sun shine bright!

An old vintage umbrella brooch, as delightful as Mary Poppins would have carried, chases the gloom away as it is repurposed into the focal of this fresh and pretty necklace. The sweet, slightly shabby umbrella features bright blue enamel, ivory faux pearls, and a single, sparkly rhinestone fitted into the center of a bow. Two gorgeous, perfectly clear Swiss blue topaz- the color of the sky on a perfect day- accent one side of the brelly, along with a smattering of more vintage faux pearls in creamy ivory, asymmetrically placed throughout the necklace. Closes with a sterling silver lobster clasp, flanked by some additional blue topaz rondelles.

All pieces are hand-wrapped in sterling silver and hung from glittery sterling silver chain. Umbrella and faux pearls are vintage and show signs of wear befitting their age. Pin back has been removed from the vintage brooch and filed smooth for comfort.

One of a kind.

Length: ~ 20 inches / 51cm*
Drop (of pendant): ~ 1.75 inches / 4.5cm

*Adjustable, but please note that when clasped shorter the chain will hang off center in the back.

This special necklace will arrive beautifully packaged and ready for gift-giving (even if the gift is to yourself!).

Enjoy!
