Necklace lengths usually are as follows:
15-16" is a choker length
17 -20" is a nice length for most women
20 -24" is nice length for most men
Of course you may order any length you prefer. I like to wear a few chains at once and often have a shorter 17" one, then a 21" and a 25" chain on...that creates a nice look each chain sitting inside the next.
I also encourage you to add a bracelet chain to the back of your necklace if you would like to create a longer necklace depending on your preference.
Named by one of my customers for it's resemblance to barbed wire. The sterling links are made from medium weight round wire and are adorned with beads and a tiny floating twisted link. Then the links are joined with a heavy jumpring. Measures 19.5" long.

This one of a kind chain features 4 different hand built chains separated by 4 sterling silver bow knots that I have wrapped with 18 karat gold wire. The pretty and functional Susie clasp allows the wearer to add a pendant if they choose. Feel free to turn the chain around when you wear it to show a different part every time you wear it. Measures 27" long and has been oxidized to highlight the detail.

A bow knot is made by wrapping oval loops with ultra fine wire in the center forming tiny bows. Each bow knot is joined by a jump ring making an intricate chain.
Measures 21" long.

Hand made bowknots formed from chunky double half round wire and wrapped with fine silver then joined with double cable rings. This is one of my favorite chains that we make, I wear this chain in a bracelet length and the bowknots are wrapped with 18 karat yellow gold! This chain measures 20" long and about 3/8" wide with a nice heft to it.

I love the chunky feel of this hand built sterling silver chain. The designs include our Floyd chain, half persian, Viking knit, sequential, infinity link with 3 hand built sterling beads, a large Rosette, zeppo coil and bowknot. The chain measures 26" and is designed to slip over your head
allowing the wearer to position a different chain design in the front as they please. Truly one of a kind and very versatile. The chain has been oxidized to highlight the detail.

A truly classic chain of understated beauty that can be worn with jeans or your best dress. I start with a large 12 ga. sequential link in the center and add 14 ga. sequential links on either side, then 16 ga. sequential links and finish the chain with several inches of 18 ga. sequential links to the desired length. This one measures 18" long and the center link is 1/2" wide.

This light and sparkly chain is made from 3 sizes of hoops each made from a different gauge wire. The hoops are soldered together and then carefully faceted with a hammer to make it shimmer as you move. Definitely the most popular chain that I sell. This one measures 18" long and has a lobster clasp.

The blue lapis beads nicely accent the blue sea sediment jasper center on this 19" long necklace. The sterling silver beads and tube silver finish this piece nicely and we have used a handmade clasp at the back.

The classic pot-belly shape of the Adirondack pack is recreated in sterling and fine silver. I have woven this basket in the same manner that a natural fiber pack basket would be woven. There are only a few exceptions, one being the handle which I solder to the rim instead of inserting it down into several rows of weaving and the stakes are not bent over the rim row and tucked into the weaving, they are soldered to the rim row. Measures about 7/8" X 3/4" X 1-1/8" high. I even make the leather strap and silver buckle at the rim. The handmade twisted link chain measures 24" long and slides through the jumpring attached to the basket handle.

Our handmade Rio chain is made up of sterling silver rings with 14 karat gold beads, the contrast between the two metals is eye catching and works well for people that like to wear both metals together. We use our twisted link and handmade clasp in the back, which allows you to shorten the chain a bit, if you hook the clasp in a different link and let the extra chain hang down the back. The Rio chain earrings are made the same as the necklace and measure 1.75" long including the sterling ear hook. We can change the ear hook to a 14 karat gold ear hook for an added charge if you like. The gold ear hook looks great! The necklace measures 19" and the earrings have a sterling silver ear hook. $640 (Includes shipping & tax) Order Now |
