The necklace begins at the portal, a perfectly painterly specimen of Black Plum Jasper, replete with gorgeous swirls, vines & pools of color, resembling flowers on a silk kimono, or perhaps an Odilon Redon painting.

A vine of lovingly bead-woven roses in lavender, lilac, antique rose and dusty rose, twines up and around to secure the portal below and a vintage skeleton key replete with a patina that whispers mysterious and romantic secrets . This lovely tale is suspended playfully from the bead-woven rope of a zillion (give or take) itty bitty seed beads in tones of ebony, charcoal, graphite, and burnished steel.

All this wonder fastens at your nape courtesy of a round silver box clasp embellished with yet another lovingly hand-beaded rose.
