The necklace is made of copper and silver plated copper, and the handmade clasp is asymmetrical, with one arm longer than the other.

A carnival necklace with a surprise twist.

Your work is always stunning and unique, Neena! I love how you’ve used wire to sculpt the flowers and leaves – it really does have a Carnival look, and the decorated skulls are a perfect touch!
