post-Thanksgiving lounging
Hope everyone in the US had a good Thanksgiving! We spent the time with my parents-in-law lounging around and eating ham and turkey. Good stuff.

I'm going through a pretty stressful period at work right now, so I haven't had a whole lot of energy to make jewelry lately. I should be getting back with it soon; I have a business trip next week but will be home next weekend.

In the meantime, I wanted to talk about this piece:



The centerpiece is a really nice red glass swag-teardrop pendant with gold foil embedded in it. The 'chain' is stiff gold lace ribbon; it holds up the pendant nicely without getting in the way. There's a Swarovski crystal on each end of the lace, as you can see in the bottom left corner of the photo beside the pendant. The neat thing about this piece is that it normally clasps about halfway along the length, leaving the crystal to dangle down your back. If you want a longer necklace in front, you can unhook the clasp and move it further down the lace, then hook it into the lace itself. This is a great warm piece for the upcoming cold weather.
