The Acrobatics We Do
Elva Fields
Oh, the acrobatics we do. Jumping and twisting, flipping and reaching, springing and tumbling throughout our day to do all that needs to be done, attempting to be our best selves along the way. It's a wild ride, friends, and maybe this gem can be a reminder that we're a) not alone in the act (See? There are a few acrobats doing their thing in this vintage buckle design!) b) we can look pretty fantastic in our feats of strength and agility and occasional chaos, and c) we're buckled in (literally!) for the adventure.
We'd LOVE to know the story behind this buckle we snagged at auction last year, but in researching it, we've come up short every time. (Message us if you have some ideas!) We were immediately intrigued by the padded and costumed figures in the gilt brass design, and loved their movements and interplay with the scrolling wind-like elements that become like filigree within the scalloped frame of the buckle. In pristine condition, we knew it would make an incredible clasp to a serious gathering of strands - at least 5-6, we thought...and we ended up with SEVEN strands in all. Mint green crystal with a stunning, smooth, satin-y finish, it's a statement, and we love that the strands can hold their own with the buckle at the back or be enjoyed with the buckle at the side - two entirely different looks in one necklace, really. How's that for flexibility?!
Measures 19.5" length.
Note: this one is a bit on the heavier side, substance AND style! And a neck workout!
