………………………..TASSEL NECKLACES continue to be a strong trend through the spring/summer season right through next fall. It really is strange to call them a “trend” since they have been popular for centuries. Queen Elizabeth 1 wore tassel necklaces made of pearls, and during the Roaring 20s tassels in gems stones and glass beads were the rage……….The new CHAIN & PAVE Tassel, J390579, will be avail in THREE COLOR METALS. The first is GUNMETAL with a CRYSTAL PAVE CONE SHAPED CAP. I chose to plate the cap in the Gunmetal to contrast with the crystals instead of silver to match the crystals. This allows the individual crystals to show up more. I also chose the gunmetal to give the piece a vintage look. This can be seen well in the photo to the upper left……The TASSEL is FULL with many strands of chain. I detest skimpy tassels! The chain also moves beautifully. If you are going to make a tassel make it LUSH! I think the chain allows you to wear the tassel super casual, but it can also be worn very dressy. I have it shown above with the BLACK CREPE GAUZE tunic, which has been reordered, and the matching pant. I have chosen the GUNMETAL HOOP from the set of four to coordinate with the necklace. A Pave earring would also work for a dressier look…………………..There have been many jewelry items posted very quickly, but as Forest Gump said “It’s like a box of chocolates. You just can’t have one”…..and VALENTINE’S DAY is coming soon….so buy yourself a present or two or three, and have hubby give them to you as a present. This way you will be sure to get a present you want! LOL…………………………………..enjoy…………………..much Love………………………..Louis
