The Boca Belle

Three cloisonné beads are the heart of this 1970s estate necklace, each detailed with tiny enamel florals in pale blue, red and green and set against saturated turquoise-blue stones.

The stones appear to be turquoise, though they have not been independently tested. We’re calling them likely turquoise and pricing the piece as howlite, just in case. Mixed with floral cloisonné and fluted gold-tone spacers, the whole thing feels unmistakably of its era.

This piece doesn’t need much from you. White shirt, navy dress, September tan. Done.
