I created the "Midnight Fiesta" necklace. I never measured it before hand. I cut the bead cord and then held it up to the purple necklace. "Hmmmmm," I wondered. "Why was this necklace so much shorter then the other?"
I pulled out a tape measure and hit myself in the head. It was only 15 1/2 inches long. Standard lengths are 16, 18 or 20 inches long. The necklace is shorter than what is known as "choker" length. I put the necklace on someone last night and it fit really well. It looked great on her. She also is a person who has a small neck.
This morning I made a few more beads. They'll be ready this afternoon.
