Essentially Chic
elva
Oh, how our heart fluttered upon finding this wonder at a hole-in-the-wall antique mall a few weeks ago. We knew the bloom was special simply from its brushed golden finish and oversized scale, but when we turned the brooch over, after requesting a closer look in its glass case, our instincts were confirmed. This stunner is a spectacular vintage Vendôme style, one of our favorite costume jewelry designers, and it's in remarkable condition. Fast forward a few days when we spied these subtly sparkling crystal beads in a favorite army green...we knew we had a match over which we could swoon and spin! The best part? Wear the two knock-outs together for a not-to-be-missed marvel, or choose to wear the necklace without the beautiful blossom at the side and you're still golden. And for one more option, the flower would happily (and effectively) adorn any sweater with its whimsical glamour. Essentially, so much fun and chic in this design, it's bound to be your new favorite. (It might be ours...) Measures 18.5" in length, shortest strand, with a gilt copper hook at back.
