Thanks for all the suggestions. Given my analytical nature, I almost want to try a combination of things just to see which works best. Too bad I don't have more than one necklace, but I may find a way to experiment just the same. </p> <p>Angie, Its very true that I thought I was pear shaped, and it's because of my mother who told me that for years while I was growing up. Those demons from childhood can be hard to shake, especially when we don't realize they are present! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546841 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 18:16:18 +0000 rachylou 1546841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like this necklace, must say. My first thought was nail polish too, but missvee has a good suggestion. The craft store must have some version that's easier to apply. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546840 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 18:14:34 +0000 BethT 1546840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm voting for a spray finish as well. &nbsp;There are a lot of different options out there. &nbsp;</p> <p>Love the necklace by the way. &nbsp;It's funny that you like the sound of it as well. &nbsp;I have a few pair of earrings that sound like little wind chimes. &nbsp;I wiggle my head a lot when I wear them. &nbsp;Probably drives people nuts that I'm talking to.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546833 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 18:09:00 +0000 Anonymous 1546833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would suggest Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic spray.&nbsp; Just put that baby in a shoebox, and spray away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546819 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 17:50:48 +0000 missvee 1546819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about just spraying it with a clear varnish. You can get matte or shiny finishes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546756 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 16:41:12 +0000 Angie 1546756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great suggestions already. </p> <p>I like how the brown of your specs picks up the brown in the earrings and necklace. NICE.&nbsp;</p> <p>(And I'm still chuckling at the thought that YOU thought you were pear shaped!).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546745 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 16:24:57 +0000 Ankita 1546745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Attaching an image for you.

Wear it with dark colors.<br /> 2. Shorten it so it is above the neckline.<br /> 3. Give it away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546735 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 16:15:04 +0000 Staysfit 1546735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, thanks so much for the suggestion for nail polish. &nbsp;I had thought about that but I wasn't sure it would work for clothing also I have never had any experience with doing this before. &nbsp;I am fortunate that I don't react to metal. &nbsp;I know many people who do though!</p> <p>Thanks Ankita! &nbsp;I will try to find that brand and brush because it is definitely going to take some time and effort! &nbsp;Maybe even with a large brush. &nbsp;My DD is in town and she and I are about to head out for some errands so we can go look soon. &nbsp;I can repost some results once I have tried this.</p> <p>Jenn, &nbsp;I think it's awesome that you were a belly dancer in the past! &nbsp;I have always wondered what it would be like to take lessons! &nbsp;It looks like fun, and very challenging. &nbsp;Thanks for your input!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546729 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 15:56:53 +0000 Ankita 1546729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On second thoughts, If you do choose the nail polish I would HIGHLY recommend the Revlon Colorstay range, purely because the brush on that is huge and that will cut your work in HALF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546727 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 15:54:16 +0000 Ankita 1546727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've done it on a couple of my necklaces because I'm allergic to metal and anything metal rubbing against my skin gives me rashes in minutes. Yes it's going to be a lot of nail varnish and patience and time,but it won't stain your clothes after for sure because of the film it will create.<br /> I'll research though if there's another way and let you know ☺ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546726 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 15:53:53 +0000 Jenn 1546726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I used to bellydance and we wore a lot of tribal jewelry made from dubious metals (usually melted-down coins). We coated the backs of everything with clear nail polish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546724 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 15:53:20 +0000 Diana 1546724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've only done it on rings and cuff bracelets where you only have to coat the side that touches your skin.&nbsp; All the little rings on your necklace might be tricky.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546717 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 15:44:13 +0000 Staysfit 1546717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really? &nbsp;That will be a lot of nail polish, it's a big necklace. &nbsp;Have you done it on a necklace this large? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546711 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 15:38:03 +0000 Ankita 1546711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Diana,clear nail polish works best. I've done this with my jewelry in the past and it works brilliantly ☺ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546702 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 15:28:43 +0000 Diana 1546702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clear nail polish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-necklace-1#post-1546701 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 15:27:55 +0000 Staysfit 1546701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased this brass chain mail and copper dangle necklace two years ago from a local shop. &nbsp;I like how the bottom echo's the hemline of un-tucked tops. &nbsp;I also like the swishing sound the copper pieces make when I walk around. &nbsp;However, it leaves a dark residue on all my clothing which is hard to wash out and I'm not sure if it's from the brass or the copper? &nbsp;Yikes! &nbsp;</p> <p>I looked online and followed suggestions to wipe it with a microfiber cloth before wearing but it doesn't seem to help. &nbsp;Does anyone here have any suggestions? &nbsp; </p>
