This necklace is enhanced with blue and green enamel as well as lapis art glass ornamentation. There are three natural lapis beads on the cross. The chain is sterling with vintage silver rossary beads and natural lapis cylinders.
The cross is suspended from an amulet hook, so the chain can be unfastened if desired.
The chain is also long enough to be easily slipped over your head.This was, and still is, a keepsake piece.
