These are the three single necks from the gold colored 3-tiered necklace from March. Unlike that piece, these are all the same length (36”) and may be purchased individually. The dark colored 3-tiered necklace from October also has 36” singles from it available and we also designed nearly a dozen others with varying chains and pendants that are excellent for layering. The first neck features a gold pearl with aged rhinestone spacer and aged rhinestone ball on filigree chain while the 2nd has a vintage “swirl” bead above a silver Ming pearl and separated by an aged rhinestone rondelle. Last but not least is 7-3GCHN-1CO45 which features a large faceted blue agate stone and a vintage fluted bead on gold box chain.
