Jade and Lapiz necklace

A friend of mine had purchased a gorgeous necklace from a Museum when she was in China.  Unhappily, and very upsetting for her, was the fact that in spite of the price she paid, it broke.

She asked me to restring it and so I did.  I used only good quality materials for the inner parts that hold it together, plus crimp beads and clam shells to make it even more secure. 

She loves this necklace so much that I want it to last a lifetime and I think it will last for many years now with good materials used inside.

It is similar to making a cake  To make a good cake, one must use good ingredients.  Jewellery making is no different than that, just requires more patience  and a very steady hand, that is all.
