I have long wanted to make a statement piece - a one of a kind, stand out original piece. But I've been so busy with new baby and custom bridal orders that time and inspiration have definitely been lacking. Well - I recently came across a parcel of stones that gave me the inspiration I needed, and I managed the time when my mother-in-law was in town helping out (yes... I have help and readily accept it whenever it is offered).
The stones were purchased for another project, but weren't the perfect color match that I wanted. These stones are very vintage and have an ever so slight yellowish cast when put with less vintage stones. What to do... what to do. I decided to use them in a single piece. The result was a double stranded collar style necklace. Classic, bold, very chic.
There are two rows of emerald cut clear vintage jewels, 22 in all, accented by pretty light sapphire rounds and square cut vintage rhinestones.
I love the completed look. I think it would be amazing for a bride, or as a special occasion statement piece. Incorporating the light sapphire stones means it can serve as a bride's "something blue" as well. I can't help but picture a beautiful bouquet of blue hydrangeas with this one.
I am WOWed by the major bling factor but still maintaining its simplicity and clean form. I would even wear this with a white high color shirt, with these beauties sparkling from within!
