Lenore Necklace Project
The name Lenore was my Great Grandmother's middle name, this piece just evoked elegant memories of her, I did have the pleasure of knowing her and she was a tiny elegant lady that I think would have adorned this Victorian inspired style! The delicate antique copper link with rose drop and chain detail work well with the blue opal ab chinese crystal helix beads, one of my new favorites!
