You could Make one yourself. Check out the trims section of JoAnns or Hancocks. You can buy jewelry making supplies fr the clasp. Or find a bead shop and they can help you with this. silk cording comes in lots of colors.

Yes, I do! We;ve been married now for 51 years and DH has given me many beautiful things and I love him for it. BUT if I see something I really like I buy it, for whatever reason that is near. I love antique/vintage costume jewelry and have quite a collection now, especially earrings (my father called them earbobs), necklaces and bracelets; love each and every one of them.
Treat yourself and get the jewelry you like.

Wore it easter morning and DH thought it was a new piece but looked relieved when I said it was just a new chain for something I'd had for a bit.
