This beautiful necklace was a labour of love. It was made with Czech fire-polish beads, dagger beads, pearls, crystals, and a whole lot of beading thread.
Time consuming, but totally worth it.
The dagger beads give it lovely movement, and the style is reminiscent of the 'roaring twenties'.
The length of the necklace means it does not need a fastening, but slips easily over the head.

Some general jewellery care reminders:
- Do not allow jewellery to come into contact with perfume, moisturiser, body lotion etc., as this can affect colours or cause tarnish.
- Remove jewellery before bathing, showering or swimming as exposure to water can weaken the threading materials, and may cause discolouration of beads and findings in the case of chlorine in swimming pools.
- Exposing jewellery to extreme heat or direct sunlight over long periods of time can also cause colours to fade
