Anthro-inspired Cluny Necklace

I was inspired by the Anthropologie Cluny Necklace to make my own version because I'm masochistic DIY like that. I pretty much made it all up as I went along. I had to start the crochet over many times, rip back over and over until I came up with something I was happy with. I went to a local bead store and bought a delicate 14” length of sterling silver chain instead of Anthro’s bronze necklace. The shiny silver gives it a more modern look, rather than the vintage-y look of the Anthro one. I cut the chain in half, added jump rings to each end (4 total), a tiny silver lobster clasp, et voila.
And I like the pop of color the red gives. I'm thrilled how well it came out!

Denise, you are awesome! Drea loves Anthro so if you continue to make Anthro clothing we will be able to fully fund Yoshi's college tuition!
