a week-ish ago, i saw this very nice necklace in tjmaxx. but i didn’t think too much about it because it was $80.

then that night i went to work at my other job, emmi beads. i was putting out new stuff when i found beads that looked pretty similar to what i had seen earlier, so i decided to recreate it:

not bad! and this only cost $10-12. the chain isn’t as fine, and the beads are glass (i don’t know if the originals are semi-precious or not, though they ought to be), but the look is the same and i love it.
