16 In. Collar Necklace



This is my second collar that I have made. The first one was made with copper wire and I believe used four wires wide. This one is five strands wide and a heavier wire. Almost to difficult to make.
 This one is 16 inchs round. I really love the look of Jewelers Brass.  It could pass as gold filled.

Speak of gold, I thought I would mention that 14 K & 18 K Gold Collars sell for $200. and up.  
I would sell this one for $75.00 if anyone is interested.

Worried about tarnishing? All base metals tarnish even silver so you might want to keep a polishing cloth around.
