So impressive!
I love this piece! It is so cute and it is large enough to make a statement, but not too large. So you can tell it is an octopus! The pearl is quite pretty and has a very nice sheen to it. The bail has a sweet design on it which shows attention to detail. The description said the cord would be about 18 or 20 inches. Mine is 18 which fits but I would have preferred 20 inches. I can use another chain and the bail is nice and large plus I have an extender sterling chain I can add to the cord. It looks nice on the cord. I do wish, however that many artists would automatically use extender chains that offer the option of 18 inches to 20 inches. I think it would improve the sale of many necklaces. But all in all I highly recommend this octopus necklace. It is beautiful.
Beautiful Jewelry Bag
I've carried a jewelry bag for years that has finally fallen apart. When I saw this one, I knew I had to have it because it's constructed exactly like the one I had, and it's way prettier. I love the fabric and it has plenty of pockets for keeping items separated and safely stowed. It seems to be very well made. I was surprised to find an additional zipper at the very top that opens up a compartment that's the entire length of the bag--this is an excellent place to tuck a light scarf or delicate hosiery to protect them from damage in a suitcase or travel bag. I would seriously consider buying this as a gift for anyone else who travels or for someone like a crafter or knitter who might need to carry small items in a larger bag--this would be excellent for keeping stitch markers, measuring tapes, small scissors, tapestry needles or other crafting sundries under control.
