Heavy - but nicely heavy
I would say this is the case when although I unfortunately cann't see myself (as it always happens with necklaces), I can feel the presence of a necklace because of a little extra weight, more surface of cool touch and what is especially inspiring - the sound it makes when I move.

Love it when you hear the pearls move....

I think Pattye is right - simple physics would say that the further away the weight is being maintained (as in from your neck) the heavier it will feel. If you are going to have a lot of weight in your necklaces, shorter pieces will be more comfortable. I wonder how Sheri wears her fabulously long and (must be) heavy Tahitian rope?

When I first saw a fireball I was out off by the strange shape. I thought they looked deformed. However, these fireballs are making me rethink them.

Just lovely.

p.s. Sheri -- long tahitian? Is there a picture somewhere? Humm....
