Exotic and detailed this necklace is tasseled lushness incarnate!

I have used many vintage Swar. Austrian stones in my own settings to create this beautiful luxurious neckpiece.

Its sensuality and ravishing presence will transport you to many and varying realms. You will be able to wear it to the prom, or to your wedding, or to an important formal event. And also snap it on over a tank top and jeans, or your swimming suit for that matter.

It is just one of those pieces that once you have it in your wardrobe you just will not be able to be without it. A powerful personal talisman and magical companion.

All Swarovski crystal beads and stones, some of them vintage from the oldest part of my collection (fifties!). The components are 22ct gold-plated pewter. The fine chains are German,
brass and also 22ct gold-plated.

This piece is a one-of-a-kind. If you are serious about collecting fine original costume jewellery pieces, do not wait another minute!

Candy Spender Jewels

I started making jewellery out of polyclay, stones, crystals and objet trouvé in 1984 in Adelaide but wanted to expand my field and so moved to Melbourne in 1986.  My studio grew and by 1989, I had customers like Adele Palmer (Jag), Bettina Liano and Georges.  

Throughout the nineties my fashion jewellery pieces often appeared in mainstream publications, media events as well as on Australian fashion and couture cat-walks.

In 1995, I opened a beautiful store in High Street, Prahran East, where customers, clients and brides would enjoy our bespoke services, and have something styled and made especially, or browse and choose from the ever-changing ranges and one-of-a-kind pieces on display.

In the small manufacturing studio at the back of the store, we were always busy on the benches, creating the pieces we supplied to other exclusive boutiques.

In 2000, at the height of CSJ's wholesale operation, stockists included over thirty exclusive Australian fashion boutiques; International fashion houses such as Browns in London; several galleries in North America, as well as an exclusive fashion boutique in Hong Kong.
