Even Through This / Re~Vintage
Elva Fields
When a long-standing customer contacted me recently about acquiring a portion of her beloved Elva Fields necklace collection, she explained that she was planning to retire to the UK and that life had shifted a bit, meaning she didn't have the same opportunities to wear and enjoy her necklaces as she once had and that downsizing meant they couldn't all come along for the fun.
Though I'm sad not to continue contributing to her wonderful collection, I'm excited for what's ahead for her. Additionally, I was thrilled to have a chance to see some of these designs again after they originally shipped from the studio over the last decade, most between 2015 and 2016. Some of these necklaces arrived back in my new studio in pristine condition with their original tags attached, others have been refreshed with a cleaning, a re-stringing, or an updating of a loose clasp and dull beads, and still others have been entirely reconsidered, swapping out beads or changing the arrangement of the vintage element to reflect a more updated style. They're each now ready for a new adventure and a chance to be worn, enjoyed, and loved.

Originally part of our Holiday Collection in 2014, this is a necklace I decided to re-string and refresh once it was here. The beads are a color and variety I really don't have the opportunity to see or source anymore - a mint green fire agate - and they almost mimic Peruvian opal in their color and translucency. Three strands of the beautiful beads bring a sense of new beginnings, and a pair of vintage black floral brooches add balance and levity.
Even through this--whether good or joyful or challenging--we find our way, and with fresh and renewed hope! Room for it all, with a new gold-over-copper adjustable clasp at back. Measures from 20 to 21.5" in length.
