Shirley had come to me with a request to create a necklace she saw in New York City, while on vacation years ago. She had asked numerous other designers to re-create it, but with their limited resources, knowledge and artistic skill, Shirley was disappointed each time she was turned away. When she came to me through a referral, she had a black and white picture of the necklace and a list of the potential beads used in the design. Although I was not familiar with silk knotting, I cheerfully said I could do the design and looked forward to it.

 

After a little research for just the right beads, clasp and silk knotting technique, I created Shirley's New York Designer Inspired crystal knotted necklace. The focal of this stunning 45" necklace is the goldtone Starry Night Swarovski Crystal box clasp.
