Fancy Flower and Baubles Necklace

A vintage flower charm is the inspiration and centerpiece of this necklace. The flower sits on a brass base and has a rhinestone center and shiny metal wrapped clear acrylic petals. It's slightly simple yet quite fancy.

I wanted to give the flower a detailed and textural necklace to be a part of. Something that added a color accent, worked in some asymmetrical design, but didn't take too much away from the flower or the entire look. I played with emerald or amethyst colored beads, thicker gold fill chains, different sized and shaped beads, and the layout/order of each piece. And after many looks, I'm happy to share these necklaces with you!

The fancy flower is surrounded by various acrylic beads, glass pearls, and a rhinestone disco ball for a little more sparkle. Colors were mute, more neutral and natural. Above, the necklace is a mix of whites, beige, and brown. Below it's blacks and grays.

A darker color palette for your formal occasions.


Both hang slightly lower than your collar bone, are on gold fill chains, and make a fun statement. I love that they are one of a kind and utilize vintage pieces. I will have these pieces at Silver Lake Jubilee this weekend. Hope they find good homes :)
