Holiday Jewelry

Creating your jewelry is the only way to ensure that your accessories will be original and properly fitted for you and your evening attire.

Once you have picked out a fabulous dress, customizing your own accessories will add the perfect touch. Custom accessories are also a great way to refresh and transform the look of dresses you already have.

This year, for my friend Ron's annual holiday party, I created a Y-necklace with a dramatically long drop of crystals on gold filled chain. This enabled me to add bold jewel tones to my simple dress. I used more crystals and stronger colors towards the top of the chain. The number of crystals decrease towards the bottom of the chain and the colors are more muted, creating a gradient effect of color.

Materials:
Gold Filled Figure Eight Chain
6mm Swarovski Crystal Bicones
Gold Filled Head Pins and Findings
