 These days my necklace looks about like this glob of silver. I joke that it weighs five pounds, but it actually weighs four ounces. Heavy enough, trust me. I still love it.
Strangers will often ask to see this mass of silver. They'll reach for it even. I can tell they're thinking, or sometimes they even say, "What IS that?" It takes them a moment to realize that it's not one thing but many things. |

| Alas the other charms have knocked the red and black paint off the ladybug from Rome, but she's still there in silver. ALso had a small 'singing' chinese healing ball from spouse but the other charms were knocking the mother-of-pearl off it.
