Updates on the prop necklaces

Remember when I got Lana Lang's kryptonite necklace?  Well, I said I may change the chain because it was not sterling silver.  I had to do it.  I used the necklace two times, and the chain was already turning black, and my neck got green stains.  So yesterday I went to a jeweller to buy another linked chain; they replaced one for the other:

The new one is the one with the bead; the other is the old one

See the difference in color?  It was a worthy change; the new chain cost just 12 euros, which is very reasonable.

When the lady of the shop showed me the available chains to pick one for the kryptonite necklace, I saw that they also had rolo chains, and I asked to see those as well.  I ended up buying too a rolo chain for the H2O locket:

The rolo chain holds the locket; the other one is a 16" box chain that came with the locket

It was another worthy buy.  It is a 3 mm 18 inches long rolo chain, and it just cost 15 euros.  I had peruse the internet for the same chain, and the cheapest that I found was sold for $30 plus shipping.

It is a lovely chain.  It reminds me of the one Frodo used to carry the One Ring around his neck.

Can't wait to use them!

Back from vacation, and new necklace

Hubby and I got back 2 days ago from Pontevedra (Galicia), after spending 10 days at the beach with our family.  I have lots to talk about, and I will, as soon as I gather all the pictures we took, and have a little time to devote to the post.

In the meantime, I want to share the new necklace that I got: it's Lana Lang's necklace from the Smallville series:

I am not a fan of Lana, but I have always liked her necklace.  For a time I considered making my own, but I never did.  Just recently it came over me the idea to re-watch Smallville (I still have some seasons to buy), and somehow I ended up searching online for replicas of Lana's necklace.  Even though I believe some official replicas exist, they are too expensive for me, so mine came from Jinxy Jewels.  She has articles for fans of Supernatural, The Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter and other stuff too.  Check her out.

I hope someday I can buy a necklace with a clear bead - I would hate to hurt Clark if someday he happens to come near me.  I like the guy... But my true love of Smallville is Lex - up until season 5 at least, which is the last one I watched anyway...
