Last week, my family and I went to a Food and Wine show at a nearby park. There were many people selling their jewelry there and we met this one woman who made a very interesting lariat that had multiple strings and two separate lengths. One length was like a choker and one part was much longer. It gave me an interesting idea to make a long necklace with three strings of all the same length. At each end of these three strings were two bars from a toggle clasp. Then I made a charm using the ring part of a toggle clasp. This way, you can use the same necklace but easily use many different charms. I have personally worn my own version of this necklace (the one shown above), and I love wearing it. You can basically wear the same necklace for many different occasions. I wore this one to a party that my swim team held for the seniors that are graduating this year and then I also wore it to school the next day. Its fun, funky, and very easy to switch out charms.
