Dragonflight
My signature torque necklace is made of sturdy and thick wire, covered with non tarnish enameled silver plated wire, and is 18" in diameter. It carries three bright and beautiful cloisonne enameled dragonflies, and the whole has been wound with yet more wire, with loads of curlicues, representing the flight path of the dragonflies in the necklace. I've used contrasting howlite beads in the hook clasp and extender, why shouldn't the back be as pretty as the front?? This is a necklace that you'll enjoy wearing, light and simple, it's a throw on and forget about it piece - until it is noticed by your friends and they shower you with compliments!
