WHAT AN AMAZING STATEMENT THIS NECKLACE MAKES!! I bought this years ago from the artist in Mexico. He said it was coin silver or better, meaning that some of it was sterling and some was coin silver...silver coins melted down to be used again. I've had it for quite a while and it hasn't tarnished very much, but does have a nice patina to it that I thinks adds to its character. The necklace is a double chain about midway and the part that goes around your neck is... a single handmade chain with handmade bench beads as well. Some of the beads are solid, some of the beads are pierced, and it full of Milagros!!! It is approximately 34" long at its longest length and is almost 78 grams in weight. This is a SUPER UNIQUE NECKLACE and I have never seen anything quite like it since I bought this one. I have collected a pretty large collection of Milagros pieces, so I thought it was time to let a few go, can't wear them all, right? I'm having a hard time parting with this one, SO IF YOU LOVE IT, YOU BETTER GET IT NOW, before I change my mind. Please email with any questions or if you have zero feedback. I ONLY ACCEPT RETURN IF I GROSSLY MISREPRESENT AN ITEM, not because of size, changing your mind, or the dreaded buyer's remorse, and we've all had that, right? I try very hard to accurately describe every item and add lots of photos, but please ask any and all questions before buying or placing an offer, I want you to love your purchase. Hope you'll check out my other listings as well, thanks for looking and happy ebaying!
