That Little Something Necklaces

Okay, hands up everyone with a solid colour wardrobe. You are not alone. Many of us have pushed prints to the back of the closet or left them on the sales rack in an effort to look professional, elegant and modern. And now, many women have no idea how to put colours together. I see and hear about this often when doing wardrobe consultations. So, while our mothers and grandmothers could pull all the colours for an ensemble from a print, that isn't an option for many women today. And you want to look pulled together and interesting. So what do you do? Well these necklaces are just the thing to get you started.

Designed to sit just inside the collar or neck edge of your shirt they add colour and interest. As for what colour you should have - if you like it - buy it. Odds are it will go with what you have on. It really is that simple!


Retailing at $50 these necklaces make a lovely gift for Mother's Day.


Available in bright, muted and neutral colourways, these easy to wear necklaces close with a sterling silver toggle clasp. The feature beads are glass, stone or ceramic. Plus sizes are available and custom requests are welcome.

And in the run-up to Mother's Day I've made a made a few for little girls - scaled to fit and with a magnetic closure. Because every woman regardless of age likes to feel special and pretty!

Light as Air Felt Necklaces

When summer comes along, I know I often get dressed and think "well, that is boring" yet can't bring myself to put on a statement piece of jewellery because I'm just too hot and the jewellery is too heavy. These necklaces have been designed to address that very situation.

They are lightweight yet have visual presence. They are completely metal free and slide easily over your head. The motifs are cut by hand. The glass, shell and pottery beads and felt are securely stitched with a strong silk thread.

Available in three motifs at present (circles, diamonds and flowers) they come in a variety of colours. They are just the thing to give jeans and a t-shirt that little bit of polish to show you made an effort.







Versatile enough to be worn year round, they retail for $45. They do co-ordinate with my line of scarves and wraps. Custom sets and sizing are available.

Fantasselic Necklaces

Ever buy a pretty necklace to come home and realize you can't do it up yourself? Or find that the chain or beads are grabbing those little hairs at the back of your neck and pinching? Well these fantastic tassel necklaces have been designed to solve both problems!

Beautiful stones form the focal point of these pendants with glass and pottery beads providing the accents. Available in a wide range of colours, they retail for $48.


A soft cord has been used to make the necklaces comfortable and lightweight around your neck. (For the fibre geeks in the crowd - it is soutache from the lovely folks at Mokuba.)




The 'tassel' composed of stone and glass is securely stitched to the cord - right through the cord and through another bead which acts as a stopper. No closure swinging to the front when you wear this necklace!




The closure is easy to manage. Made with a wooden bead or button and a loop securely tied and stitched in the cord. Even stiff or clumsy fingers or long hair are not a problem with this closure. Because really who wants to get to work in the morning and have to ask someone to help you finish getting dressed?






Matching bracelets are available and equally easy to manage. More about them tomorrow!
