DeMario Style Color Changer Alexandrite Crystal Bead Necklace
Outstanding alexandrite crystal glass beads change color depending on the light; under warm lighting the beads are the pale lavender color of alexandrite, while under fluorescent lighting the beads are a soft baby blue. Though unmarked, this is a quality piece that possesses DeMario characteristics. (If not a DeMario, then most likely a Robert or Eugene.) Two strands of beads are interspersed with rhinestone rondelles. The centerpiece is elaborate, with clusters of beads, rose montees, purple rhinestones, and gilt leaves with filigree backing. Clasp ends are decorated with tiny filigree "stations" with purple rhinestone floral clusters. 16 1/2" length with hook and beaded end chain for adjustable fit. Condition is excellent. - $395
