Crystal Sands Designs AUTUMN SPLENDOR Necklace Vtg Bakelite Leaves OOAK Artisan

New from Crystal Sands Designs.. a one of a kind, artisan necklace titled "Autumn Splendor", made from vintage butterscotch bakelite leaves and beads.

The bakelite leaves have been over dyed/painted with an orange border and had brass leaf stampings applied to the centers, highlighted with green enamel. The bakelite leaves are bordered on each side by small green glass spacers, and bakelite bead "berries".

Just wonderful and ready to wear!

Approx  measurement is 21" long, but can be adjusted down a bit due to type of chain. The bakelite leaves measure 1 3/4" tall.

 Tested and polished with simichrome. Guaranteed vintage bakelite.

All but the brass leaf stampings and the small findings are vintage so there is some minor wear. The bakelite leaves had quite a bit of surface scratching which shows on the backs which is one of the reasons I went the way I did with the center leaves and darker border. So glad I did because it made a gorgeous necklace.

I have no more of the leaves so this is definitely a one of a kind piece and will not be duplicated.

Really a colorful bakelite necklace.

~Please note~

Most of my pictures are taken with a magnifying lens giving me clear, close up photos. This tends to also magnify minor flaws on item which many times cannot be seen on actual item.

Due to this magnification (especially on small items and jewelry), photos may make items look larger than they actually are. Also, if you are viewing the photos on a wide screen monitor, there is a good chance the items look shorter and wider than they really are. For greater accuracy, please check dimensions given in the description.

It is also possibly that the colors/brightness shown on your monitor are different from those on actual item due to different settings.

~Shipping~
For larger items where the quote shown is for priority mail, the charge may seem very high due to size or weight. If you click on the "see details" link to right of shipping price, you will also be given a quote for parcel post shipping which in many case, is less than half the price of priority. I have shipped thousands of items via parcel post and have had no problem other than it maybe taking several days longer to arrive.

Items usually ship next business day after payment is received. Occasionally, though due to the time payment was received, handling time, etc., it may take an extra day, especially if payment is made late Thursday. In this case, it will probably be Monday before your purchase is mailed. I appreciate your patience.

Save shipping with multiple purchases..Always glad to combine purchases to save shipping. When purchasing two or more jewelry items, pay the listed shipping on the item with the highest shipping and all additional jewelry items ship free with the first.

North Carolina Buyers are required to pay 6.75% sales tax or send me a signed exemption certificate.

International: Presently I am not shipping internationally due to the high shipping charges and delivery times. Under certain circumstances, I will consider it on a case by case basis.
