gembeans says:What a glorious Happy New Year necklace! Love it, love it. I made some long strands with left-over beads (not half as pretty) but linked with eyepins. I’m definitely going to upgrade my beads and make one without links. Checked out your website and very nicely done! All of your work is so beautifully executed.

Little Round Chick says:Love it, Violet! I just finished a similar one yesterday except my beads are a more eclectic collection.
BTW, It’s almost long enough for a jump rope!

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Very lovely design with great color choices. I can really see this as a favorite addition to a lady’s wardrobe. You can throw it on with jeans and a jacket to run to the store, or wear it for a dressy evening out to supper and a movie. Great!
