The Necklace that Goes with Everything*AKA my Twisty necklace

I made myself one of these on craft wire (silver over copper, lead/nickel free, NON-TARNISH) because I was so tired of polishing the bits of wire between the beads on my older pieces. It's become one of my go-to pieces. I made one for my mom and she says it goes with everything.** And no more polishing at the last minute!

Every bead is different. There are semi-precious stones, crystal and Czech glass in all sorts of colors. Each necklace is one of a kind. The length on the ones I've made are 27" so with the two rings on each one they have the Added Benefit of working as an eyeglass or badge holder. I'm planning to make them in 24" length also.































* Except maybe evening gowns and wedding togs.

** She might have said "anything," I'm using a little artistic license here.
