Class up your Mardi Gras celebration when you wear this long hand-knotted necklace with its beautiful parade of beads that are clustered in groups like carnival krewes. This necklace, called "A Fine Fat Tuesday," has a combination of glitzy metallic and glass beads.

There are globular, faceted and aurora-borealis finished beads, silver mirror faceted rondelles, antiqued silver-plated lantern beads, pale smoky grey faceted rondelles, and black carved Czech beads. The beads roundish beads are all sized 8mm. The rondelles are 6x8mm.

You don't have to go to all the way to Mardi Gras to wear this necklace. Its versatile neutral colors mean that if you are a hippie chick, a boho boomer, or a career woman, you can wear it to embellish your outfit and perk up your day.

It is a strand that is 36 in. (91 cm) in length that I hand knotted continuously, without a clasp. Simply slip it over your head. Some of you, depending on your head size. can even wear it wrapped twice around your neck for a shorter style.
