The Walton Collection is focused on an elegantly curved bar of beads, while some styles in this collection are draped with chain, some styles are kept simple allowing the beads to shine on their own. This minimalist style necklace is comfortable and effortless to wear. The 18” length works well with a variety of necklines making it the perfect fit for most.
