Her Inspiration
My husband had given me a beautiful triple-strand pearl necklace. I loved the Jackie Kennedy look. I didn't love the fact that the design was permanently stuck in the Jackie look. If I needed a single strand of pearls, I had to go out and buy another necklace. If I wanted a double-strand, ditto. If I wanted a longer, matinee length, I would need to go out and buy that too. I knew one triple-strand pearl necklace, if designed right, should be able to provide all four classic looks.
Voila!
I couldn't find a good interchangeable necklace clasp, so I made it a New Year's resolution to design one. I ripped apart my Jackie Kennedy necklace (sorry, Mark) and created three separate pearl strands, each with clasps on both ends. I can now wear one, two, or three strands at a time. Everything layers perfectly, and it's easy to take on and off. I can also use a chain extender and wear the long strand as a matinee length necklace, or add an enhancer to any strand.
