From the book: “Everyone likes to get multiple uses from one object. We designed this piece with such versatility in mind. It can be worn either as a brooch or as the centerpiece of a necklace, since the “pendant” is detachable. Make several different necklace ropes—some long, some short, some casual, and others formal—so you can change the look of the centerpiece according to your mood.”

30 Daggers in color A
30 Dagger in color B
30 Long Drops
