~ It's redundant to call this a Larry Vrba AND a masterpiece, since everything he creates is a masterpiece. Vrba is as bold as his view of life is colorful. Just put me in a Vrba,... anything Vrba, and I feel better. It's a vibe. It adds buoyancy to my soul. It takes me from the daily humdrum and puts me at the Kentucky Derby in a vintage Lamborghini with a mint julep. I'd wear this necklace, a blazer with a camisole under it, lemon yellow high heels, tight jeans, and a hat of course.

~ There is no skimping of materials here (obviously!). The beads are all made of the finest glass. The lemon drops have a glow to them, but they're not frosted. It's almost like a moonstone type of luminescence. Have no clue how that was done, but it's awesome. They're shaped like little barrels with fatter bands of glass around their middles.

~ The green drops are irregularly shaped, not just plain `ol round. This makes them look like real jade pebbles plucked from a river bank. The green glass contains speckles of lighter colors adding to the illusion. Separating the green beads frmo the yellows are uncountable scores of faux diamond rondelles.

~ The base metal is gold plated metal in the form of seven hearts strung together. Each heart has a large, deep lemon cabochon set in the center and surrounded by more faux diamonds. It's a virtual Swarovski playground of crystals.

~ Necklace measures 16" long, and can be extended to 18", due to the hook clasp and extension chain at the ends of the necklace. Necklace measures 2.75" wide.

~ The earrings are clips and measure 1.25" wide and 1.35" long.

~ Necklace is signed on the reverse "Lawrence VRBA" on an oval plaque.

c. 1980's, in excellent condition, simply exquisite. Not commonly found.
