As you might expect from a necklace with "Blerk!" stamped on its centerpiece, this necklace was created with an eclectic mix of gemstone beads, pearls, random beads and bits of chain. (Hint: those leftover pieces that end up in the that bowl of "stuff that's too good to toss" on the edge of your jewelry bench.)
