Treasure Necklace

I LOVE making treasure necklaces. The design emerges based on favorite colors, shapes, themes and personality. This treasure necklace, created in shades of blue and purple was made for a very special friend. She filled out a "Treasure Necklace Questionnaire", and from there, I began working on the design. She selected many of the beads and the type of chain that was used. As a surprise, for this lover of cats, I added a waving lucky cat charm. Another surprise is the hand painted bead of the pretty Asian beauty to symbolize her daughter,  adopted from China. I placed the bead on the necklace  so it would be just above her heart.
