opal glass thai silver flower sterling silver lariat

This is really just a twist on me lariats that ive been making-- ive dangled the stones from the chain--rather than have the stones link the chain--iffing that makes any sense.

It's basically how ive been making the two-tiered necklaces with the un-sold bracelets --sort of.

The way the lariat hangs makes the stones dangle vertically inline with the lariat chain.

I had the idea months ago to try something different--then me bud Diane showed me a necklace withe lots o' dangling stones--looking more like grapes than what i had in my mind.

Then i thought-- i'd better get to making the new spring designs-- being that i had a month ago knocked down the prices for "spring-cleaning" to make room for the promised new designs. She definitely got me ass in gear.

Dangling the thai silver flower from the link looks cool-- i usually hang a stone.

My lariats, depending on how its worn, tend to hang asymmetrical--better word for uneven--dangling the nother thai silver flower at the top of the chain--past the last stone, making it "un-even"-- actually makes it look asymmetrical--rather than un-even.

This lariat is less work than me others--less stones, but more silver--especially thoze little flowers--wow.
