Necklaces
Necklaces are the center of Maggie's jewelry designs. You will meet many original designs in her web pages, as well as some of the more trendy styles--sometimes with a twist. Maggie likes to pick-and-choose, or mix classy, vintage and period-styles. The motifs she works with are applied to bracelets, earrings, hair garlands, and anklets, allowing for many matching items. Maggie doesn't always follow the "coordinating-credo" herself (she's a little wild and experimental in her own apparel and accessories), but she understands the appeal for matching pieces. Please enjoy these unique, hand-made designs.
A word on materials: Maggie has quite a repertoire of materials that often spill out all over her workshop. For stringing, she likes to use invisible nylon cord, nylon string (for seed beads), plastic coated steel wire, sterling silver eyepins, elegant sterling silver figaro chain, and silky colored cording (heat-set nylon). Lots of nylon in there. As a very strong synthetic polymer (that Maggie once had the opportunity to make in Organic Chemistry class) it also allows for long lasting pieces of jewelry.
