When I met one of my stylish fellow-bloggers for the first time a few months ago, I was mesmerized by her gorgeous blown-glass bubble necklace - although the thought of klutzy me in such a necklace is a little scary. (Shards of glass + carotid artery = euw!)
Anyway, I was charmed to see a similar necklace in the Anthropologie holiday catalog - under the name "ephemera necklace," no less! BubbleEphemera!

I'd also think twice about having all those bubbles so close to my carotid artery. I wear glass bead necklaces often, but those beads are a whole lot less fragile. You can get a similar effect from large wooden or plastic beads covered in fabric; my favorite online bead supply store has started carrying them, which means you ought to be able to find finished work (since my favorite supplier tends to be a bit behind the cutting edge of fashion). I just bought some wonderful ones and will make myself a new, bold, lightweight necklace to wear for the family Christmas party.
There's also some truth to the argument that while fabric-covered beads only live as long as the outer coating of sealant lives, fragile blown-glass beads may have an even shorter lifespan.
The MoMA has a similar one, also similarly expensive!
Absolutely lovely. I bought a white crepe skirt there last summer that has become an absolute staple. I can't wait for warm weather so that I can break it out again.
Get 'em in bright red and you can look like a turkey....
Jessica, do you have a theme going here? I see a blog after this one which starts, "Leonardo...", and recently you blogged on evolving the Mona Lisa, and now, looking at the necklace model, I see she actually does have a Mona Lisa smile.
And they said it could never be duplicated!
You might be right, Ian (about the theme, at least - your turkey comment makes me think of bubbles of blood. I think I saw that Sarah Palin turkey video too many times. . . )
