Pearl & Brass "Biker Necklace" by Augusten Burroughs

About the Item

THis beautiful and rambunctious one-of-a-kind necklace was handmade by artist Augusten Burroughs. The 26" necklace features 42 high-quality cultured Chinese freshwater pearls strung on sturdy silk. The silk cord has been hand-knotted between each pearl but you can't see these knots because there's also a brass bolt separating each pearl. The pearls are off-white, apricot, lavender, and silver -all naturally colored, not dyed. The pearl strand is intertwined with a heavy oval-link brass chain. Suspended from the chain is a highly-detailed cast brass scull and, on the other side, a handy bottle opener. Because you never know where you'll be when you need to open a bottle. The necklaces closes with the heaviest and most overkill clasp imaginable. Pull the spring-controlled ring to open the "ring" portion and slide the oblong end into place and you're good to go. You can unhook the necklace without operating the spring-clasp, but in order to close the necklace you do need to use the spring pully thing. Yeah, I know, crazy. But so awesome.

Double Strand Akoya Pearl Necklace, Germany
Located in Southbury, CT
A double strand of huge, luxurious warm-toned cultured Akoya pearls -what a treasure! The most classic, timeless necklace there is: a double strand of large and fine cultured Akoya pearls in golden cream with a soft pink overtone. Akoya cultured pearls 8mm in diameter and larger are uncommon, which is why 8mm represents the dividing line between ordinary Akoya pearls and "luxury-sized" Akoya pearls. This vintage necklace features 87 pearls in two strands and the pearls measure between approximately 8.35mm to 8.93mm. The length of the inner strand is 15" while the outer strand is about an inch longer. So it wears like a 15 ½ necklace, sitting right over the hollow of your neck. The 9K yellow gold clasp is marked for J. Köhle, a German jewelry manufacturer in business since 1872. This is a weighty necklace, tipping the scales at just over 80 grams. That's a lot of weight for a 15 ½ inch necklace...
