"A really unique piece."

The violet torsade necklace is a beautiful, natural creation. With no metal pieces, it is carefully strung and woven into a light weight, feminine piece that looks like understated elegance. The price was right and its a pleasure to wear.

"Red Radience"

Already had the necklace and could not believe finding this bracelet to match. I love its vibrant color and the adjustability. It is a miniature torsade. It is made well and shipped quickly and can not wait to wear it often.

"Beautiful necklace!"

Love this colorful, substantial necklace. I just adore turquoise, but it can be very heavy. This is lightweight and adds that lovely turquoise pop of color to your wardrobe! Very well made and a versatile addition to my wardrobe! Thank you Sumalee Nawakul!

"Seeing Red!"

Just arrived. This torsade necklace is perfect. Love the rich red color. The knotting in between is something one does not usually find as a feature of this style and price point. The knotting does not take away from the beads themselves and that is an added plus. The adjustability is fabulous so easily achieved and can be donned and removed with ease. Two lengths and twisting for a true torsade make for a striking and memorable signature piece worn around the neck, whether wearing a dress or teeshirt. Plan to enjoy it. Lightweight and that adds to the perfection of this torsade. Wish more stars could be given because I see red so beautifully done.
