The 70″ strand … and how it came to be.
A Necklace for Every Length
As I was contemplating new designs last year, one thing I really wanted was a style that could be used in a variety of ways. Some days, I’m in the mood for something different from a 16” or 18” necklace. So, I decided to design a piece that could “become” just about anything you would want or need it to be.
Why 70 Inches?
I thought that if I designed a strand/necklace that was very long, it could be configured into many different “looks,” depending on how many times it’s looped and worn. I had several strands made in different lengths and experimented, until I decided that the 70” worked best. It can be worn as a choker, a two, three, or four strand necklace, a bracelet, a belt or even an anklet. Multiple 70” strands can be braided or twisted together to create even more looks. You can easily just layer as many as you want, creating the long layered look that is so popular now.
Great for Travel
When I travel, a 70” strand is the perfect piece to take with me. I pick a few favorites, throw them in my carry-on and go. Because I can wear them so many different ways, I know that it will “go” with whatever outfit I choose. Usually I throw in a strand of pearls and a strand of micro-faceted stones. Wear them alone or together. The possibilities are endless. That’s why I LOVE these strands!
They Fit Everyone!
70” strands make perfect gifts, because they fit everyone. The recipient can adapt them to their own personal style, wearing them with classic and contemporary outfits. They are simple, elegant and striking…

The long “strand” sounds fabulous. I have one of your necklaces and I get so many compliments on it– wear it like a belt and it’s very distinctive. Thank you so much!
