Thread: Bella necklaces

How does Bella make her necklaces? Could anyone post photos of some?

I have 2 Bella costumes, but neither have necklaces and something more substantial than what I have been wearing with them.

Many thanks for the help!

Check out Alimah's gallery. She has a TON of Bella's, many with necklaces: Alimah Bellydance - Photo Gallery

Thanks, Malia!

I want to know if the necklaces lay flat when on a flat surface, or if they are curved. I also want to know what the edges are like. Are they unfinished like the appliques are or turned under and lined like waist straps?

Thank you!

I have several bella's that came with a necklace but I don't wear them.
They're well made, finished and lined like the waist straps. They are curved to have a nice fit but I like necklaces that have more weight to it (especially with a lot of hair tosses or spins).

Thanks for the input. Do they twist around because they are light?

Yes they are curved when you lie them flat and yes they twist around and get stuck on neck band sequins or velvet on velvet contact. I put a little toupee tape on mine to keep them centered.
