San Marco in dark chocolate

A fresh take on a distinctive collar necklace.  Simple, elegant, and endlessly versatile, the San Marco can be worn alone or layered with a favorite charm or chain necklace.  An adjustable length allows you to wear it higher on the collarbone or slightly longer, depending on your neckline and mood.  Rich dark chocolate brown Venetian glass beads are paired with subtle accents of freshwater pearl, making this piece especially easy to layer and for travel.    16 inches adjusts to 18.5 inches, 14k gold plate.  Shown worn layered in alternative colorways for scale.  "Adding to the San Marco collection comes this new colorway - a versatile dark chocolate brown.   I'd looked long and hard for Venetian glass to use in a simple collar necklace.    I wouldn't budge on the shape of the beads; they needed to read classically elegant.  Not 'Look what I got on my trip to Italy'.   The piece is named for the Basilica of San Marco, rising up out of the Venetian lagoon and glowing with ultramarine and gold - a  first, unforgettable impression of Venice for travelers across centuries."
