Simplicity. It’s like perfume in the sense that if you only wear a little of it, people come closer to you to get more. That’s the feeling evoked from this stunningly beaded necklace from Shashi.

The curved bar is nicely adjustable thanks to the lobster-claw clasp. Shashi’s colorful beaded necklaces evoke emotion and sentimentality. Gold plate. Made in the USA. Length: 16-18″ / 40.5-45.5cm.
