Many years ago, I made this necklace:

BeadedBeadsCrystalNecklace
The photo is from 2006, when I first made it.  I loved that necklace.  I wore it all the time and then it started to have some technical issues.  So, I put it on the shelf.  

Last week I decided it was time to fix it.  I restrung it slightly differently….

And now I'm happily wearing it again!

  • The bead caps are a nice addition and you wear big necklaces so well. Thanks for being the first place that I “stop at” each morning. It gives me a dose of inspiration to start my day!
