Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things
As soon as I saw this delicate little necklace (curled up in a pile of golden deliciousness on Joe’s desk), I nabbed it. I am ALWAYS on the lookout for blog pieces… it’s a never-ending quest. Even now, after more than 200 blogs later, I still can’t guess which pieces will resound with you. Instead, I choose the things that speak to me and hope that somehow they will appeal to you as well.
And so, here we are with this late Victorian gem. Twenty-five golden pins dangle from an interlocking cable link chain. They graduate in size, with the largest one in the center. It measures approximately one inch in length, and the smallest one is just a half inch. It lays perfectly on the neck – a requisite for me. Comfort is key. Usually, by the end of the workday, I have discarded my jewelry in a tiny pile on the corner of my desk… hoop earrings that got too heavy, a bracelet that clanged against my keyboard, or perhaps a ring that wore out it’s welcome on my hand. But this beauty has been clasped around my neck for nearly four hours now and I barely know it’s there. It’s effortless. And that is something to smile about. Make it yours for just $740.00.
