Here’s a necklace that I made for myself a year ago or so.  I wanted something in neutral tones…black, gray and silver.  It’s loaded with onyx, peacock-colored pearls, silver, Czech fire polished crystal, mother of pearl and some Swarovski bicone crystals.  If you look closely you’ll see it’s actually two separate necklaces made to look like a double strand necklace.  I can wear one or the other alone depending on what look I want.

Now fast forward to this week, and you’ll see I’ve revisted this design with an update.  Again, I was looking for versatility and a double feature.  I used the same beads in a new way.  With this design, you can wear the necklace with the single chunky strand of twisted onyx in the front, or if you prefer, the more delicate-looking double strand in the front!  The ornate Bali toggle clasp is worn on the side.  Voila!
