Hand Beaded Star Necklace w/ Red Bead Rope - "Polaris"
Regular price
$39.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
This pretty north star necklace is a vintage discontinued Swarovski north star crystal, circa 1950 - 60. I added a hand beaded spiral rope and finished it with brass beadcaps and a hook and eye clasp. When I saw this star I had to get as many of them as I could, because Swarovski no longer makes these gems. Make a beautiful Christmas accessory! These stars are very limited!!! I will be making them in a few other colors so check back often. Christmas Star Necklace is 19"
Also available in black.

Glossary
SP - Silver Plated. May also be listed as silver-dipped, silver overlay.
GP - Gold Plated. May also be listed as gold-dipped, gold overlay.
Platinum/Rhodium Overlays - Often silver and white gold jewelry are dipped in a platinum or rhodium overlay to enhance their brilliance and reduce the silver's natural tendency to tarnish. This gives you more wear without having to polish the silver for a long time.
Rose Gold Overlays Rose gold plating, or overlay, is basically an alloy metal (silver, copper, brass, zinc, aluminum) that has been dipped in rose gold. So it must be treated as any other plated jewelry to keep its color for as long as possible.
Silver Chloride - Another way of saying Tarnishing.
Copper Sulfide - Another way of saying Patina.
