Please read shipping notes before ordering this piece of handmade jewelry.

This impressive piece was a marriage of of mother-of-pearl, Swarovski crystals, lime green cat's eye and seed beads as a foil for one of Luigi Cattelan's chevrons. The chevron is an inch and a half long, the necklace is 25" long and the tassel ends of the lariat add an additional three and a half inches of length.

In addition to personal checks and US Postal Money orders, I accept PayPal. Shipments paid for by check are held until the check clears.

I do not pad my shipping charges but do pass actual costs on to the buyer. ArtFire requires that I pick a number for shipping so I picked the least expensive, slow-boat-to-China rate offered by the United States Postal Service. Secondary shipping charges depend on what else you are purchasing. If you are purchasing more than one item at a time from my studio, please e-mail for shipping charges. If you wish to choose a shipping method other than the USPS to a US address, the cost is more. That said, U.S. or Canadian purchasers may choose the U.S. Postal System, UPS or Fed Ex. but please request a shipping quote before making a purchase.

International purchasers may only use U.S. Global Priority Mail. Costs for Global Priority shipments vary by destination and package weight. Please contact me for a shipping quote before making a purchase. I combine shipping costs automatically.

Insurance is optional but I accept no responsibility for damage to or loss of uninsured shipments.

Luigi Cattelan bought a warehouse for storage space and found an unexpected bonus in the basement. There was a cache of antique glass hidden there. The color of the glass from which the focal chevron piece was blown cannot be replicated. Luigi blew a limited number of beads from this glass. Once I saw them, I just had to have one. It took me nearly a year to come up with a design I liked. Now that is done, I love the result.
