Basque Multi-Charm Beaded Necklace

Using an eclectic mix of found materials, Lizzie Fortunato creates statement jewelry imbued with a warm optimism. Informed by textile artist Sheila Hicks and abstract expressionist Helen Frankenthaler, Spring’s lineup offers jolts of uplifting color that can easily be dressed up or down.

Cast from gold-plated brass, this 'Basque' necklace is strung with aquamarine beads punctuated by an array of semiprecious charms, like lemon quartz, amazonite, and freshwater pearls.
