Would Rather Be / 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 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 a 2015 collection, this gem has been lightly refreshed and is ready for its next appearance. Hand-cut gemstone beads (from aventurine and rock crystal to lapis and citrine) make up nine strands amongst which a pair of vintage black glass jeweled flowers blooms, themselves a vintage pair of earrings in their previous life. Between variety of texture, shape, and hue, there's no place we'd rather be. Measures 18" length with silver-over-copper hook clasp.
