Lady Mary's Necklace on Downton Abbey

Well! I finally did it. I wanted to make a necklace that looked even more like the classic black long glass crystal necklace that Lady Mary wore in several of the early episodes of Downton Abbey. I am very pleased with the result! I love very long necklaces, and this one is 50 inches, so it can be worn long or wrapped around.I think it's very versatile and can be worn with so many types of outfits. I love designs and styles from the flapper/deco era so I particularly love this kind of thing. You can get your own Lady Mary Necklace at my Etsy store, just click on the Etsy Mini to your right or go to www.julianascretions.Etsy.com and click on the Downton Abbey Inspired Section. Just for you blog readers I will share a secret; I always include matching earrings with this necklace. Don't tell anyone, it's a surprise. :) I am going to work on some long chandelier type earrings to match I think.

Downton Abbey Necklace Inspired by Lady Mary

This is my most popular Downton Abbey Inspired Necklace so far. It is made with all black glass faceted crystals and small black seed beads. It is really long, 50 inches, so you can wrap it around two or three times for different looks. Or it can just be worn long as a single strand like they did back in the twenties; the flapper look. It's so versatile. I am working on a similar look in pearls. You can find this necklace on the front page of my Etsy shop. (Click the Etsy Mini on your right.) Here's holding my breath until September.

Downton Abbey Jewelry on Etsy!

Well, it's been very busy 2012 at Juliana's Creations. The Etsy site is getting more popular all the time, and I am busy with lots of custom orders. I'm learning a few things about Search Engine Optimization and suchlike, updating my main website, and learning about Pintrest. I love Pintrest and I am also easily overwhelmed! I continue to try to make classic designs with broad appeal that are beautiful and not boring. And I've been so busy, I've not found time to design more items for my Downton Abbey Inspired Line, which is the next thing on my list. Can't wait for September for the next series!
