The necklace is 20 inches long and sure makes a bold statement. Please keep those suggestions coming.http://jbrana.blogspot.com/2006/03/amber-fanatasy.html Promise - Valentine's Day Collection- May 16, 2006 I have just completed posting my new Promise Collection that I have designed for Valentine's Day.
