Description:

Entirely formed by hand, this amazing necklace features a combination of soft, honey-colored 12K gold filled wire and carnelian. These colors combine to create a necklace that is timeless and elegant.

Something about these colors also makes the necklace look like an antique, while the design is fresh and modern.

Total length of necklace is about 18 inches (about 46 cm). Please contact me if you would like to modify the length.

Carnelian beads measure 5 mm in diameter. Clasp is a simple hook style, also created by hand.

The color of the wire is difficult to capture, and so I have included photos against white, gray and pale brown backgrounds. It is best described as a rich golden honey color.

Learning more about gold-fill:

Gold-filled components are composed of a solid layer of gold bonded to red brass. Gold-filled items can be worn daily for many years without wearing through (up to 30), and as per Federal Trade Commission standards, if the gold layer is 12 K or higher, the minimum layer of karat gold in the item must equal at least 1/20 the weight of the total item. Gold-filled items are also 50 to 100,000 times thicker than regular gold plating.
