Precious

My Sister bought me this name necklace for my birthday.

Although it's not my real name, I love it as it's what Theo calls me, so this is a precious little tribute from him to me.

She ordered the letters and chain online and realised as she started to put them together that the letters bunched together on the chain so that you couldn't read the word!
Despite best efforts, she was unable to source any spacer beads in time for my birthday.

It's been like finding rocking horse poop, but I finally managed to find some beads this week, with a little help from a couple of jewellery crafters who pointed me in the right direction.

Although there were plenty of beads, none had a middle hole big enough to fit the chain clasp through. Plus, I wanted sterling silver to match the letters and chain (so that they wouldn't tarnish).

I was so happy to find these beads, so now my necklace is complete and I can wear it like the proud Gant that I am! :-)
