This beautiful, delicate acorn necklace is made from handmade glass in a bright turquoise blue. The glass has tiny flecks of deep red in places that add to its beauty and uniqueness. We have combined the glass with an antique silver acorn, and we love the combination of silver with turquoise.
We have added a fine silver-plated trace chain with delicate beading detail.
The acorn pendant measures just 12mm (half an inch) long, and the necklace chain can be worn between 16 and 18" in length, perfect for this delicate pendant.
