Long strand with assorted antique pendants from various cultures

Lucia Antonelli creates a delicate, yet complex piece that joins vivacious cultural frontiers from around the world. Carefully, the artist strings her core strand of antique French brass beads, skillfully salvaged from 19th Century handbags. Trailing the elegant lines of the necklace strand, the artist embellishes its composition with small additions of beaded strands, creating contours in the necklace and dimension, drawing the eye at a closer glance. With variegated charms that cross vast global origins, Lucia exercises lively conversation of culture and creativity with a medley of materials. At the bottom and center of the piece, a fusion of charms and talismans join in a shapely assemblage, adding balance to the piece. On the body, her work of great detail and intricacy is all the while, a near weightless delight and comfort to wear. A sweet composition of ornate charm, Lucia creates an invaluable keepsake that remains nearer and dearer to our hearts.
