“As I was creating this lovely, my mind wandered to another place and time. Who had worn this pearl necklace with the beautiful glass stones, what did she look like, was this one of her favorite pieces? I was so curious, I imagined the life she might have had – nights out, dinner, and dancing.”

I love all of your magazines, but Jewelry Affaire is on of my favorites. Thank you for the great free download. Love it!
Hi Jacque, let us know how your own necklace turns out if you decide to replicate the design!
Imagine my surprise at seeing the knotted silk necklace so similar to one I made. However mine is longer and with multi-colored beads (deconstructed from a purchased necklace) with the jump rings tied within the silk knots. I was inspired by one a friend purchased at Anthro several years ago with pearls and crystals knotted on silk. A great look!
Susan, your necklace sounds beautiful!
