As
a frame to the wearers
face, a neck piece is usually the first item of jewelry noticed by an
observer. With
a large design area,
necklaces, chokers, and collars are among my favorite jewelry pieces to
create. At the same time, they present annoying challenges, not the least of
which is gravity: No matter where I want it to be, the heaviest part of a
neck piece will always be front and center.
