Mireille Necklace | Aureus + Argent

Long strands of polished pyrite and brass teardrop beads are hand-strung by artisans in a alternating pattern that forms a shimmering cascade. A Y-shaped necklace of gold-plated brass chain features a doubled bead strand. Unexpected Luxuries: A unique collection of event-worthy pieces hand-crafted by artisans applying time-honored jewelry-making traditions. Hand-cut and polished semi-precious stones, lustrous pearls, and gleaming pyrite take center stage in these distinctive designs. Pyrite: Pyrite, a metallic golden stone with extraordinary sparkle, derives its name from pyr, the Greek word for fire. With its deceptive similarity to chunks of real gold, Pyrite is also known Fool’s Gold. The inherent shine and the shape of pyrite chunks, which form as a series of large and small crystals and even cube forms, renders it ideal for unique and eye-catching jewelry pieces. Lobster clasp closure. Chain: 16" extending to 18"
