Playing Card Suit Sterling Silver Necklace with Gold Accents
Four polished sterling silver barrels ride this necklace, and each one is pierced right through with the suits of a deck of cards — hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades — the cut-outs reading dark against the silver. A high-polish silver bead caps each end of every barrel, with a small gold bead between, strung on a twisted sterling cable that finishes in a lobster clasp.
It is a quiet joke worn at the collarbone: nobody notices the suits until they are close enough to look, and then they always say something. A natural gift for a card player, and very much at home in a city that has never stopped gambling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the white beads pearls?
No. They are high-polish sterling silver. There are no stones or pearls in this piece — it is silver throughout, with a little gold in the accent beads.
How long is it?
It sits at collarbone length. For the exact measurement before you buy, call or text us at 504-908-0011.
Will it work for a man?
Yes. The barrels give it weight and the motif is unisex — we sell these to card players of every description.
How do I care for it?
Buff with a soft polishing cloth. A soft brush helps lift tarnish out of the pierced cut-outs. Avoid chemical dips, which flatten the contrast the piercing depends on.
