***** PLEASE NOTE *****
Most Necklaces I make are very long and actually to big for most people. The ends of the leather used for the necklaces are knotted twice and can easily be cut and retied so you can easily make the length of the necklace shorter to best suit your look and body type. The reason I did this, is so my hand made necklaces can fit anyone. It is best to have the necklace to long, yet easily resizable, then to be to small and unable to be resized at all.
