One thing that you'll see me repeat with varying levels of severity are asymmetrical designs.
My hope is that it keeps the wearer interested in wearing the necklace repeatedly.
I don't want to create a necklace that gets pushed to the back of the jewelry box and forgotten about.
That is the other piece that you will see me repeat...everyday necklaces!
I want to make a necklace that you'll wear with everything all of the time.
I want you to say "I love this necklace, I am never going to take it off."
That means that my designs must work with casual, business and semi-formal.
My necklaces are soft and feminine. I love to add dabbles of pearls because what woman doesn't love pearls? Now I don't like complete pearl strands. Too stuffy for me.
I like to use delicate beads and chains.
Today I am in a t-shirt that can't be less than 5 years old,
with a 3 year old pair of trouser jeans, a pony tail and glasses.
I do not look my best today, not even close.
I don't feel like my best, not even close.
My feelings changed when I put on the "Random Yet Faithful"
necklace listed below before I ran errands with my girls.
One little addition changed my outlook and self esteem.
It's great to be a woman!
"Random Yet Faithful"
This double stranded silver necklace is fun and sweet at the same time.
A rhinestone cross rests at the center of a 22" vintage silver rolo chain from Ann Taylor.
The 18" feminine antique silver chain holds a neatly wire wrapped blue jade stone.
A metal Virgin Mary Catholic medal hangs asymmetrically on the left side of the longer chain, close to the wearer's heart.
A pearl bead hangs next to Mary as a reminder of her "pure" faith.
A tiny frosted quartz teardrop hangs asymmetrically on the right side of the longer chain.
Both chains are attached to a traditional lobster clasp with split rings for added strength.

Broken Porcelain Turned
Wearable Art!
This 1 ½ inch piece of antique Chinese porcelain was "framed" in silver and "messy" wrapped at the loop.
Artfully placed vintage pearl beads, glass and charms hang asymmetrically on the left side of the chain about half way up the left side of chain.
All of this on a 26" textured platinum
plated chain with traditional lobster
clasp closure in back
"Vintage Gold"
King Midas would be proud because
it just doesn't get easier than this!
I honestly don't think that you could ever go wrong when wearing this necklace.
It is elegant yet simple, colorful yet plain.
