Neck Lace???

What is the origin of the word necklace? Lace worn around the neck, a cord around the neck?

I am getting ready for the Catawba Pottery Festival next weekend and so have been making some new necklaces. Here are a few of them. Feedback, private or public, is appreciated:) Don't be shy.
Double gingko leaf in sterling with a celadon cabochon

Double gingko leaf pendant with a turquoise with cobalt pottery cabochon and moonstone raindrop

Leaf patterned sterling silver with 14K gold fill, a peachbloom pottery cabochon and garnets

Reticulated sterling silver with a purple and deep peachbloom pottery cabochon, accented with a garnet

Hand stamped sterling with 14K gold fill and a turquoise with copper pottery cabochon

Hand textured sterling with 14K gold fill and a turquoise with cobalt pottery cabochon and labradorite

These are all gorgeous, Jennie! I'm sure they will love them at the Festival. If I had to pick a favorite, the combination of simplicity and purple would make me choose the 4th one.

Thanks Laurie! Wes loves that one the best too. I need to try to get more of that color combo.
