Oh Look. A Necklace.

For those of you who are just joining us, I should show you some of our "signature" pieces. Our marketing director reminds me that necklaces and bracelets are the mainstay of our operation. Here, then, is our leaf necklace. It is about 16 inches long, made with precious little glass flowers and leaves from the Czech Republic, pearls, Swarovski crystals and Japanese glass. It closes with a larger glass flower clasp that "disappears" into the necklace when it is joined.

One of our friends wears this necklace to great effect on a plain, black, sleeveless sheath dress with a black jacket. It's just the perfect outfit because you never look under-dressed, and you never look over-dressed. It works for business functions, fund-raising banquets, christenings, bar mitzvah services, dinner with your in-laws, you name it. Our friend always manages to look like a lady.

Did I mention that she wears the necklace with a matching caterpillar cuff bracelet? This dazzling little bauble is chock full of the same components as the necklace, but hand-stitched to a woven band that drapes beautifully over the wrist and closes snugly with a snap hidden under an ultrasuede clasp.

We'll try to post a picture tomorrow.
