The important thing to remember with long necklaces is , you can pull off wearing them, even over a collared top. It's all a matter of getting comfortable and being confident when you wear them.

Developing our Scarf Necklaces

We haven't posted in awhile, as we were busy developing our handmade scarf-necklaces. We have now reached a wide variety of designs and elements on the humble scarf; from basic embellishment using stones, crystals, and shells, to making infinity scarves with layered beads. We are especially proud of our Queen of Thorns scarf-necklace, wherein we decided to use our signature bead embroidery.

Our latest design for the scarf-necklace shows off our strength in using bead embroidery designs. Instead of using semi-precious stones, shells and crystals, we embroidered the main necklace accent with seed beads and cut beads.

The Josefina scarf-necklace is our version of the infinity scarf. We used layered crystals to make the necklace design for this scarf-necklace. We also added basic bead embroidery to the knot where layered crystals are attached.

The Estrella collection is fashioned with layered multi-strand semi-precious stones, making it the main design accent of the piece.

We value feedback from our clients. This design suggestion combines two scarves sewn together. We then embellished the piece with stones and shells to form the necklace.

Bracelet Sizing Guideline

Purchasing from boutiques gives you more freedom to try on accessories, but what if you can't fit a piece you love because it's sold online? In the internet age, wherein virtual stores are becoming "the boutiques", it is a plus to know your own measurements. Not only that, if you plan to have your bracelet customized or handmade, over the internet, knowledge of your personal measurements is a huge advantage.
