THE DISCOVERY:
On my travels in the Key West, FL area, my friend and I stopped at a thrift shop just right off the main road. Of course I went straight to the jewelry counter but saw absolutely nothing that caught my eye. I walked around the store a bit and just before we left I circled back to the jewelry counter for another glance. On top was a pile of clothes covering up a large pile of jewelry inside the counter. I gently moved aside the clothes and that's when I noticed a single gold bead from the strand of this necklace. I HAD to see more!! So I politely asked to see the pile of jewelry and was able to untangle the jewels just enough to pull out this beautiful vintage 1960's Mod Napier Gold Choker.
