I’m constantly discovering jewelry pieces that I love, but wish to change the color or a few details here and there. So I finally had the chance to make my own designs when the gem faire came to town last weekend. I loaded up on some fresh water pearls, charms, chains, antique ribbon and stones to create some much needed long necklaces.

I’ve been craving long necklaces—these range from 18″ to 22″ in length
