The Nimue’s Eternal necklace has a neck opening of 18″. It was designed to hang on the mid-chest, with the longest hanging bead of the triangle hitting about an inch above the start of the cleavage. If you wanted to customize the length more, you could wear it shorter, but not longer or it wouldn’t hang right. To give you an idea of the size of the triangle, it’s about 2-3/4″ wide and approximately the same long. The original piece weighs in at 2 ounces on my postal scale here in the office, just so you have an idea of weight. However, it doesn’t feel heavy… it just feels substantial and slinky. It’s crafted in sterling silver and looks best polished bright. The beads are lovely faceted ovals in rainbow moonstone, which is a natural gemstone. They are an iridescent milky-whitish and glint turquoise, dark blue, teal blue, and even some pinks as they catch the light.

If you need it longer or shorter, send me an email to cynthia at cynthiaclinton dot com. There’s no charge to make it shorter, but making it longer would require extra materials and time. If you need it longer, I can either craft it longer or I can make a matching extension. If you think your weight might vary, I recommend the extension because then you can remove the extender or get a longer one, based on your needs. Email me for info and price if you need it longer or want an extender.

Be bold. Be happy.

The Inspiration Behind This Piece

This one is probably, hands-down, my favorite necklace I’ve ever made. It’s oh-so-slinky to touch and interact with and fills the chest area very nicely. For instance, let’s say you were going to an event and the neckline of your gown was much lower than you were used to; you’d feel exposed. Put on a necklace like Nimue’s Eternal and you have something beautiful that visually fills the space, leaving you feeling much less exposed. Plus, you have the reassurance that the eyes are going to the necklace rather than the chest that’s exposed.

But Nimue’s Eternal is more than just a space filler. It’s a glittering chest piece that can be successfully worn with any style of outfit, save say… sweat pants. That would have to be one hell of a track suit! It can be worn with a cool jeans outfit, with evening wear, and with business wear. It looks great with the really nice tube tops (not the kind we wore in the 70’s lol), with button-down styles, with scoop necks, with v-necks, and even with crew necks.
