The bold shape of this necklace delightfully contrasts the delicate nuanced colors of the numerous unusual oversized freshwater pearls.  Enhanced by the large semi-precious pyrite stones and set off by delicate bright hematite beads, the green/grey/mauve palette is reminiscent of a scottish heath and can be worn with a wide range of colors.  The necklace is hand-strung featuring a classically inspired sterling vermeil medallion depicting one of the most important and beautiful sculpture groups in the world, the Greek 'Laocoon' sculpture...a three thousand year old story recounting the battle of Neptune and the serpents. 18" long. Comes with a matching extender in sterling silver hung with fresh water pearls to use as a matching bracelet or to extend wear up to 25". Limited edition of six pieces. Made in USA of elements from Italy, USA and other origin.
