Cascade of Charms
About this design:
I haven't done many tassel necklaces...but Nancy sent me a few. I particularly liked the color of this and wanted to embellish it to look like a waterfall. I could have done a better job , but didn't want to do it over.
Components:
Bronzite, Czech glass, tassel, assorted dangles, sari silk...no need for a clasp.Additional Images:

Crystal Canary says:Nice the way you nestled the tassel in with the cascading drops. I like how the AB Czech rondelles add a touch of flash & sparkle to the design. Are those faceted Pyrite tubes? Love how they create a transition to the back. I’m getting a Boho vibe with the silk & tassel–this will be a delight to wear.

dolllady aka Pam says:I must agree with Crystal Canary! It would be fantastic for summer with the Sari silk on the back and no clasp.
