This choker has thirty lengths of silver fringe made from tiny links that took me most of a summer to make.  (That's right, no mass fabricated curb chain for me.)  Three drops of amethyst are hung between the fringes, just to make it a little jazzier.  I started making the fringe in the summer of 2004, then ordered the wrong size stainless steel links for the choker part.  I didn't resume the project until February 2005, at which point I decided to make my own links, out of silver instead of stainless.
