Coral Reef

My grandmother's faux coral necklace circa 1960 paired with a vintage starfish brooch picked up at an antique shop.

    The way you took the necklace and made a classic red, white & blue combo is brilliant.

    So beautiful! :) Strangely enough there was a necklace like that at Target earlier this year (a gold starfish set on red coral) but yours of course is much more stunning/well made and has a bit of history attached :)
