Asymmetrical Necklace

Personally, I love making necklaces with asymmetrical designs. For a person who loves patterns and symmetry, asymmetrical projects post the same challenge to me. My favorite such necklace, from a recent custom made order, is the DIWA NECKLACE. We customized this necklace for Val to wear on her graduation day, and we received a good response for this design, not only from the client herself, but from other customer's as well. We ended up recreating the piece and offering the design as a made to order piece.





Asymmetrical Necklaces, such as this one, works best with the following necklines: STRAPLESS, CREW OR BIB, BOAT NECK, AND OFF SHOULDER.

Neutral Staples

There are bold women who prefer loud colors over muted ones. At the end of the day, however, it's really about a person's preferences and taste. Some prefer colorful hues, while others prefer neutral tones, and it's all perfectly okay, as long your choices don't defy your fashion philosophy.

Here are some staples we've made to address your love for neutrals.

3.  NAGAPWA LONG NECKLACE

Multi-Way Accessories

One way to save some money on looking fabulous is choosing multi-way accessories instead of "traditional" pieces. We've been tinkering around with this idea, to give our clients better value for their money. Here are some of the pieces we've made recently.


1. CATALINA: Originally this was a layered necklace using semi-precious stones. We decided to provide additional options for the wearer. Using a special lock, she change the design and length of the necklace. The best of all this multi-way's features is, the design gives the wearer a choice to wear the necklace on casual and special occasions.


2. NICOLA BY NOVI: This necklace was designed by one of our most experienced beaders. A two-necklace design and bracelet in one piece.  


3. IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN: This necklace comes with a matching bracelet. The great thing about this set is that the wearer has different options on what way to wear her necklace. She can change the position of the  embellished accent,  or she can detach the piece all together, and still wear the layered chains separately.


4. AMATULLAH: Our bead embroidery pieces are designed to be statement necklaces, and are usually reserved to be worn on very special occasions. However with this customized signature piece, the last three patterns are detachable, which each individual pattern being able to be worn as its own unique bracelet. So if you're feeling bold, or if you just want to be laid back yet still make a statement, wear the piece in its simplest form.
