…………………………..Color, Color, Color…………there is no better way to create a colorful piece of jewelry than a 72″ long FACETED GLASS BEAD NECKLACE!…..J350149 is the style number…..Many of you own a similar necklace that I did a few years ago. It was also 72 inches, and it was made out of the same glass faceted beads. It was avail. in Black Jet, Clear Crystal, Gunmetal and Chocolate…….The major difference between that necklace and this is the CONSTRUCTION. The previous necklace was “strung” with silk string, but there were some problems with the cord, due to the weight of the necklace, separating from the closing [nobody makes 72 inch necklaces]……..This time we have linked the beads together with metal rings, as you can see in the photos. This makes the entire piece much STRONGER……………….What came first….the chicken or the egg? In this case it was a beautiful new WINTER FLORAL PRINT that I fashioned into a beautiful simple blouse. It’s the print that is the focal point. It’s coming in Sept., but you will be able to get the necklace on my up coming jewelry show on Aug. 25, QVC2, at 6:00pm……I selected the color of the beads to match the colors in the floral. I chose to link the beads together with gunmetal links so nothing would detract from the color of the beads. Unfortunately, I could not capture the beauty of all of the beads, but I think you get the idea…..The colors will work with many many things you already own……The WK TUNIC SWEATER above is a new style that will also be avail. in Sept. The color is PARADISE RED…………This is the necklace that will get much attention especially from the little ones who are captivated by colorful sparkly things………………………………………………………..
……………………….enjoy……………….much Love……………………..Louis
Talk about Mardi Gras beads! Many, many years ago, the beads for Mardi Gras were made from Czech glass, & they are now collectors’ items. This iteration will be pure fun over my charcoal gray WKs this winter & white or chambray linens in summer, and the alabaster version is perfect for my adobe faux de chine set & a favorite denim shirt. That you had the beads set with the metal makes them so up to date & more casual. I really like this piece.
April,
I envisioned the Alabaster with summer clothing, for some reason. I see it with turquoise and white shades.
I should add, though, that I think it will be brilliant with the Adobe set, which I own. This one (the Alabaster) is for me.
Is that 72″ from top to bottom or if there is a clasp, is that the LENGTH of the necklace from one end of clasp to the other? In other words would it be 72″ or 36″?
It’s from end to end, with a 3 inch extender. It’s the same as my pearl necklaces, and my last faceted bead necklaces.
Louis, your florals this year have been sublimely beautiful. You have mentioned that you choose from prints you review for their beauty. New providers? Of course, it is your exquisite tastes that leads us to the best of the best.
Beautiful! I look forward to having such deep, vibrant colors added to my winter wardrobe.
Beautiful. Love the colors of everything.
I’m absolutely crazy in love with this black floral print and necklace!
