Summer Scavenger Necklace

So, it's almost summer and I thought you might be wanting a fun new necklace to wear with all your cool summer outfits. What would be more fun than going on a scavenger hunt for the materials?

Ok, for this swap you will find at least five of the any of the following items and incorporate them into your necklace. Please be mindful of you partners likes and dislikes as far as colors, metal choice etc. And absolutely no "plastic" , "junk beads". no fake stones like plastic turquoise and no "junky anything". Repurposed vintage items are fine, as long as they don't look like they came from a gum ball machine or are broken and dirty, grimy pieces missing stones etc. ...you know what I mean, this should be made with "good quality" metals and findings. No "cheap" glass beads either. Use quality crystals, glass beads. Please use sterling silver, gold filled or good quality base metals or allergenic findings. It should not tarnish in other words and they have available on the market now many many different types of chain that the finish won't come off.

And, Please handmake your necklace or buy a quality handmade one. Please absolutely no import crap that is one of a thousand just like it.

One last thing, please check with your partner as to the preferred length. I'm a plus size lady and I prefer my necklaces a bit longer than the typical 18" and I know you'll want your creation to be something they will enjoy wearing. So let's check with them and then make it accordingly. Or you can each post below your wishes. Most of all, use your wonderful imagination in creating your necklace. Think outside the box! Thanks.
