New Product: New Necklace Styles!

I've given up on trying to schedule new products into months... It just doesn't work! Too many things going on, too much to do. But, I will still be coming out with new products :)

This time, it's new necklace styles. Styles, as opposed to options, like last time. Last time I was adding colored ball chain, organza necklaces and braided faux-leather necklaces.

What I'm calling necklace styles is the necklace being beaded, half beaded/half chain, like a charm bracelet, etc.

Here's a list of the set styles:

- Beaded
- Half-Beaded
- Charmed
- Pinned
- Half-Pinned
- Charmed/pinned
- Charmed/beaded
- Pinned/beaded
- Beaded/pinned

But I'll go through them one by one with pictures. And, of course, you're not limited to this, we can always work out a completely custom item :)


Beaded: 
For a beaded necklace, the full length is beaded. It can have any pattern, any beads, pendant or no pendant, but the length of the necklace is made up from wire and beads.









Half-Beaded:
Half-Beaded necklaces are actually more 1/3, 1/3, 1/3... 1/3 chain, 1/3 beaded, and another 1/3 chain. It can have a pendant or not, and any beads. The chain is generally thin, like shown, but can also be a chunky style.












Charmed:
A charmed necklace is made with the same large aluminum chain that the charm bracelets are made with - but a whole necklace is made with it! The center section has bead dangles, about the length of an average bracelet. The necklace can just have bead drops, or it can also have charms! Charmed doesn't have a "Half-Charmed" version because the rest is already chain. ;-)








                                Pinned:
Pinned necklaces take much longer than other styles, so it does make the cost go up, but the looks is just so unique! Each bead is on it's own eye pin, and they are connected together by sturdy jump rings. Using jump rings reduces the time it takes, and makes the necklace very flowy! Great for extra long necklaces. The beads can be different, a few styles, or just one style.

Half-Pinned:
Like Half-Beaded, Half-Pinned is also about 1/3, 1/3, 1/3. The pinned section is constructed the same as a Pinned Necklace. Consider doing an extra long Half-Pinned Necklace with chunky chain instead of thin like pictured for a different kind of statement necklace!









Charmed/Pinned:
This style necklace has a charmed center about the length of a bracelet, that, like the Charmed Necklace, can have beads and charms or just beads. The length of the necklace is made up by pinned sections, styled like the previous two necklaces. Charmed Necklaces also take a long time, so the combination of the two does make it one of the pricier options.







Charmed/Beaded:
This necklace has a charmed center like the last one (about the size of a bracelet, can have beads and charms or just beads), but instead of the sides being pinned, they're beaded!






Pinned/Beaded:
To continue the combinations, this features a pinned center, with beaded sides like the last one.








Beaded/Pinned:
This is a reverse of the last one! You can tell the difference (this goes for all styles) because the first word is what the middle section is. This is Beaded/Pinned because it has a beaded center with pinned sides.





Phew! Long post! But mostly pictures so it wasn't too bad, right?  Prices on these will depend on which style, the beads used, charms added... Like most reasons the prices fluctuate :)
