Commisioned Necklace - 10/11/2007 2:06:59 PM

Just thought I'd share my very latest accomplishment, as of a few minutes ago. One of my favorite and best local customers asked me to make a necklace with a strand of coral she had bought. She looks fantastic in high choker styles with big chunky beads. Since she had so much coral, we decided to make two necklaces that could be worn together or single.

I paired it with some black African wood beads. The inner strand has graduated black discs. The clasps are hand hammered sterling. The length on both is adustable to give her max wearing potential. These fit together like a perfect collar. But the inner one alone will be good for more subdued outfit.

I know she'll look lovely in it. It's such a pleasure to make jewelry for women who know their style and aren't afraid to show it off. It's inspiring!

I've been making jewelry all day. I am selling at a show Saturday and not sure exactly what to expect there - but I'll bring as much as I can.

Yes, she did look lovely in them. She's an older woman and knows exactly what her style is. I really admire that.
