After that much neglect, first it needed a good cleaning. I tossed it in the tumbler with some other pieces in need of a shine.
I separated the double link chain from the main piece. In its place I used very small diameter supple black plastic tubing (!!), strung through the top loop of the piece, and double backed. The connection is accented with some sterling beads I had in my stash, along with two midway up to hold the double tubes together, and add a little more interest. The result is much more comfortable to wear, and much more striking of a piece, I think.



Nice contemporary touch!
