Rhinestone Statement Necklace



Rhinestone Statement Necklace
This one-of-a-kind rhinestone statement necklace is handmade by Andrea Li in her Denver studio: a bold, layered composition built from a curated selection of various vintage rhinestone components and accented with freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals, finished with sterling silver wire and a sterling silver clasp.
The rhinestones are vintage finds, each with a history of its own, reworked into a modern design that still carries that particular kind of old-Hollywood weight. The freshwater pearl accents break the sparkle with lustre, and the Swarovski crystals push the light in a different direction entirely. No two of these read the same, which is by design. This is a piece built from things that already existed and made into something that never existed before.
Freshwater pearls are softer than the rhinestones around them, so a note on care: remove before swimming or showering, wipe the pearls gently after wearing, and store the necklace flat rather than hanging. The sterling silver wire and clasp will develop a natural patina over time; a soft polishing cloth brings it back.
One of a kind. From the Vintage Collection. When it sells, it is gone. The freshwater pearl guide explains why pearl and crystal work so well together if you want the full story.

Named after Sappho who founded Western literature along with Homer. You gotta admire a woman who was fierce in her handling of the one thing that is mightier than the sword, a pen. Write your own ticket and get one step closer to infamy when you wear this sparkling statement necklace.
The neutral shimmer of rhinestones will punctuate perfectly with any color. However, for maximizing drama you can never go wrong with a LBD. This combo is as classic as Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
These limited designs are handmade with love and assembled from a curated selection of various vintage pieces. Each one with a rich history that has been re-worked into a newer modern version and integrated with unexpected components to give them fresh appeal. Part of a curated collection of one of a kind pieces will be gone forever once they sell out.
