Old Frosted Florida Sylvie Statement Necklace

Description

My family used to take vacations to Florida when I was growing up. I remember sitting around while they'd visit friends & talk about 'Old Florida'. "Oh, Stella lives over in ____ that's considered "Old Florida"." During the '80's Florida had been seeing residential boom of new 'track houses'. Old Florida always made me think of Lilly Pulitzer pedal pushers & pink flamingos in front of bungalows. I'm not from Florida so I could have made this up. But this necklace makes me think of 'Old Florida' as well. A mixture of mid-century vintage beads in hot pinks with touches of greens & golds. Shiny & matte. But mostly frosted matte. The beads in this necklace are varied in shape & size for a great, textured look.
Made in United States
