But why be content with "just a necklace", I mused, when I was pretty sure I had a big cabochon that had most of the colors of the necklace in it. I had bought it decades before, knowing I'd find the right place for it one day. It would be a great accent and I did find it, and when I fit it into its bezel and held it right next to the necklace, the colors were as good a match as I had hoped, but it seemed to need its own space, to "make its own statement".
Thus began an experiment into a new area for me, to make a hanger from what I had on hand (I couldn't wait and shop for a ready-made). So I took two French earwires, shaped them, made a collar of Carnelian chips for the bezel, dangled the stone from the necklace and was truly finished. (It can easily be taken off though, if it doesn't fit the neckline or the occasion.) Enjoy!!!
I loved the experience of designing this 5-strand, though it took much more time; and now I want to do one in ocean colors, which are my favorites.
