…………………………Now you know the legend of the three coins. This necklace was created in honor of the fountain and the legend…….Of the “THREE” necklaces the Trevi is the shortest. There are three different coins, in graduated sizes, hanging from a strand of “glass” beads. Mixed in with the beads are two gold beads. One has crystal stones and the other, which is actually “three” spacer beads put together [see close up], is on the other side. These spacer beads, which look like a series of TINY GOLD BEADS, are also used on the Trevi earring to separate the glass bead from the coin……I love the way these two beads are placed randomly with in the color beads….as if the artisan just felt he or she had to have them there for no other reason than it pleased them……..Now we call them glass beads, but the truth is they are semi precious beads…..so why not call them so? There is too much red tape and documentation required by QVC to say they are semi precious, so we decided to just call them glass. It was much easier and saved headaches! You can tell they are semi precious just by looking at them………The Red beads are called….CARMINE RED, and remind me of RED CURRANTS. Jac used to make a delicious Currant Berry Torte!………The Black beads are called…..NERO. The style number for the necklace is J478587………..The lever back earring has a single bead, the two spacer beads. The hanging Roman Coin looks like a SUN DIAL. It is the shorter of the two earrings being offered, and something everyone can wear………It’s a great necklace to wear on its’ own with a white tee and white jeans, some fabulous sandals and BIG sunglasses…..very Italian……or mixed with the other necklaces to create more dramatic looks……………………………………….enjoy……………much Love………………….Luigino
