i chose a thin yellow gold chain for the silver sword because i liked the contrasting metals. the chain for the cross pendant is a perfect match with its tiny opal beads - kind of reminds me of a rosary.
the folks at Beadworks were very helpful - they showed me how to crimp the ends of the chains and attach lobster clasps. i would have been lost without them. (d.i.y. is not my forte.)

great size on the necklaces, they are much bigger than i would have thought. i esp. like the sword and the super long length.
love the outfit as always!
The cross is exquisite! *waves to H*:)
I like the length you chose for the sword, right to the belly button; striking. Also great composition on the last photo.
I love that you're bringing back more of your older clothes; I loved all the original combinations you had in stylediary!

Beautiful! I love everything about The Row, except the price, of course! Haha!
Hey guys! I'm glad you approve. That's actually why I had to d.i.y. the chains, it seems they don't sell ones longer than 30" off the shelf, at least not in the jewelry stores I visited. The one for the sword pendant is 36"
nice. was going to do something like this today. but...it's sub-zero in nyc right now and i was afraid the wind would just billow out my giant skirt and...freeze me.
great picks on the necklace. it does look like a rosary.
love the maxi dress!
LOVE those necklaces!
