When I made my Bright Spring Day necklace, the leather was too long, so I had to trim it. I used the trimmed piece to make this necklace. Never get rid of your leftovers! author signature

Herald in spring with this stunning necklace design. It features a TierraCast pendant at the center full of beautiful blooms to get you inspired for the season. The Leather Cord USA leather adds just a subtle pop of color to this simple look.
