My Favorite Necklace & Why
My very favorite necklace.As you may imagine - and as may be the case for you if you make jewelry, too - I have a significant amount of jewelry. There are pieces that I wear with certain outfits, pieces for special occasions only and pieces that I wear only once in a while.Every so often I get hooked on a piece of jewelry that I wear all the time, even almost every single day.For me, that is this necklace.
I wear this necklace all the time. The other day I was at my stepdaughter's graduation party and I had given my stepdaughter an album filled with photos I had taken for prom for her. I was in one of the photos and I was wearing this necklace. I was also wearing the necklace at the party. My mom pointed this out to me and really all I could do was laugh. What can I say? I love this necklace.But why?So if you've been following along with this blog, you may have done my free mini workshop this week. (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3) I mentioned that turquoise was one of my favorite colors. That I wear mostly black and white, but when I do wear colors, the colors I most often wear are in the turquoise/green/blue color scheme. So that brings us to the first reason I love this necklace.#1 It's one of my favorite colors. It matches my outfits when I do wear colors. I also wear it with my black and white outfits, too and it adds a pop of color to them.#2 It's my favorite stone.The necklace using my favorite stone, which is turquoise. I have a lot of turquoise jewelry. Turquoise is a protector stone and I love that about it, but I mostly love the color.#3 It goes with a lot of my outfits.I mentioned this above, but it goes with a lot of my clothes.#4 I love the design.I absolutely love this design. As you may know, I really like simple, clean jewelry designs. This piece is a little more complicated, but it's still simple in design.I also love that it combine techniques. My husband even noticed it the first time I wore it. Well, he said that necklace looks like 2 of your necklaces combined.And that was really the point with this necklace. Combining designs in a different way.#5 I love wearing my own designs and I'm particularly proud of this one.This necklace feels like me. I designed it. People will often comment on my jewelry and I'm especially proud to tell them that I designed and made this piece.
