Necklace, Opera, Turquoise & Coral, Applique, Hallmark, Vintage, 1608

YOU’VE NEVER SEEN AN OPERA NECKLACE QUITE LIKE THIS.

This statement necklace features three large pendants, each with a cabochon of red coral and of turquoise in simple bezels set in a sterling silver frame with large leaf applique and silver drop accents. Two coordinating pendants in red coral act as spacers to the larger trio and all are placed on a double strand of bench-made silver beads. This necklace style is often referred to as an “opera necklace”, which is longer than a choker and “matinee necklace”, and is designed to lay flat across the breastbone. It has an element of elegance and uniqueness that makes it a must-have for the Southwestern jewelry lover!
