I’m not completely sure if I like this necklace as a necklace but I definitely think it’s impressive. It’s also definitely enjoyable to look at just as an object.
You see my point? It looks sort of like a scrunchie with little plastic beads, or a necklace that a very fancy My Little Pony would wear. But it’s made of real, faceted aquamarine and morganite beads, with a large, cushion-shaped morganite clasp.
The colors are certainly beautiful. I can’t help but wonder if it’s heavy to wear. It sort of says nutty old lady to me…but I do look forward to being a nutty old lady and I think this could be styled fabulously by someone who knew what they were doing. What do you think?
This necklace was listed in Sotheby’s November 2012 Magnificent Jewels sale. All images and info are thanks to Sotheby’s.

I think it’s a beautiful necklace. The colours are wonderful in this combination BUT it’s going to choke one.The strands need to be longer. About the length of the longest strand of pearls (of the 3 strand pearl necklace) that Queen Elizabeth II always wears.
