It's a clasp-free necklace, so that if it catches it will slide off without injury, plus it's on steel wire, which is so strong standard jewellery cutters won't cut through. So I don't have to worry about breakage and beads flying anywhere. Here's it being modelled (the flash went off hence some of the beads have a "glow effect"):
Baltic Amber is not actually a gemstone, but is in fact a fossilised resin that is estimated to be 50 millon years old. Because I've sourced my amber from a jewellery supplier, I chosen A grade amber beads, so some of them may have been heat treated to remove bubbles and factures.
Next Project: Hubby's ring is still on the cards, plus I've promised little miss nearly 4 a pink Cinderella bracelet. I've just gotten in some delightful sterling silver carriage charms, just like Cinderella's. Plus some pink swarvoski crystals that come with my amber order.
