I purchased this necklace from the Betsey Johnson boutique before it closed. The boutique closed in 2012.
One of the flowers has a piece of its petal missing. I didn't notice it until I photographed it. The necklace has never been worn and was wrapped in the padding and bag from the BJ boutique so it might have been missing when I purchased it.
This necklace is from Betsey Johnson's "Secret Garden" collection. A gold-tone chain is interwoven with a black grosgrain ribbon. The ribbon ends in to cute bows that frame the "garden" of flowers, leaves and a ladybug. Each dangling flower has a contrasting rhinestone in the center and two layers of petals that complement the other. The detail on the enameled ladybug and leaves is gorgeous.
The 3" extender has a heart dangling from it with BJ signature. Necklace is about 15" (without extender). See photos for size of charms.
Aside from the one broken flower (see the photos), I found no other issues with this necklace.
Comes with the pink and black Betsey Johnson mesh pouch.
**Auction details**
- Please review the recent increases in postal rates on the USPS site. No
one at USPS consulted me or asked for my permission or agreement to
raise the rates so don't get snippy with me about the rates. If you send
me snark, I'll just tell you I don't care, uhm, think you're nuts something neutral and polite.
- There
is "bargain" and there is expecting an item of value to essentially be
given away with free shipping thrown in. We all know the difference.
- Items
listed are not from my personal stash or closets unless specifically
stated. I do not have the item's pedigree. I do not know the habits of
the original owner(s). For example, my home is nonsmoking; however, I
cannot guarantee items I obtain were never exposed to smoke or pets or
acrylic or bad language or tin-foil hat worthy conspiracies. Err on the
side of caution and presume there has been exposure to all of the
above.
- I
look the items over carefully and will note imperfections, if any. My
definition of "imperfection" may differ dramatically from yours. Please
review photographs and remember colors may look different depending on monitor settings or the type of device you're using.
To recap:Don't send me snark.
Don't
send me a dose of your daily crazy, e.g. a $200 set of knitting needles
marked down to $100 but you want them for $20 plus free shipping.
Lowball offers deserve eyerolls.
Because
the origins of the items are unknown, presume the previous owners
watched trash tv, used bad language, wore tin hats and exchanged
conspiracy theories in front of the items and probably had a pet. I
don't know if any of that is true but please presume that it is.
NO. DRAMA. ZONE.
Ok, that's it. *dusts off hands* Back to the fun stuff.
