Mistake - I Can Say I Made One

The title of this post makes my "mistake" seem BIGGER than it is in reality.

The older I get, the more likely I am to say "Oops! Sorry!  

I made a mistake!  How can I fix the problem?"

I am far from perfect.  I am a PERFECTIONIST so I try to be perfect until 3+ years ago when I realized that I'm not perfect, I've never been perfect and I will never be perfect.

No one is.

I'm good with that.

Updated Necklace (11/25/2013)

On October 23, 2013 I did a post about asymmetrical necklaces, and my love of them!

As I've mentioned before, I wear my jewelry as I am out an about.  

1) Because I think they are pretty  

2) I am proud of my work

3) Most importantly - I can work out any problems that arise.  Maybe the necklace needs to be longer or shorter, I'll know by the end of the day.  Perhaps it tangles, how can I fix that? 

The longer chain broke, many, many times.

An insane amount of times.

I had ordered a new supply of chain from a retailer that I had not worked with before.  Per usual, I only order items that are allergy free.  I hadn't used the type of chain that was on the longer strand before.  It turns out that it was extremely delicate chain.  If you applied the tiniest amount of pressure, practically breathing on it...it would break.  I was so upset, annoyed and embarrassed.  I was happy that I was able to test the necklace over the course of a few days to find out that this was a problem.  After contacting the retailer, it turns out that it is simply extremely delicate chain.

Luckily, I didn't make any additional necklaces with this chain.  I threw it out so it would never be used accidentally.  I want to produce quality products that can stand up to real life.  If a necklace can survive my life with two toddlers, three dogs, one cat, a 1972 house that we are always fixing, a husband and a life then it should be able to survive anything.

Now that I've said all of that, here is what you should take from it...

TALK TO ME!  CONTACT ME!  LET ME HELP!

If you ever have a problem with a necklace that I have created, let me know.

I will always do my best to make it right.

Here is the necklace that is updated only in one way.

The longer chain was replaced with a vintage rolo silver chain from Ann Taylor.

  "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 Ann Taylor rolo silver plated chain.

The 18" feminine antique silver chain holds a neatly wire wrapped sky 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.
