This look was inspired by styles I've seen on the red carpet at awards shows. I love mixing up chain types to bring more texture to a piece.
Chain makes a wonderful foundation for all kinds of jewelry designs and can even be used as a way to spice up your dangles. Cynthia used chain in a different style for adding charms to this necklace. The long chain dangles create a fun fringe look that's irresistible. Try working with different chain styles or even mixing finishes to create a whole new look.
