My idea was to use a narrow gold ribbon but alas my search at three different stores left me disappointed. I found a silver one but had my heart set on gold. My daughter Jackie the fiber artist has all kinds of beads and ribbons that she uses in her many creations and she lend me a ribbon that had a narrow gold strip in it, and also some beads since I wanted to incorporate beads in the necklace. Since the ribbon was a bit too wide for what I wanted to do I folded it and sewed it by hand with a gold colored thread and hooked it in. I then decided that it was good enough and I wouldn't use the beads. So here is the ribbon in question. Many thanks Jackie. I'll return your beads and what's left of your ribbon when I go to your place.
And here is the necklace in question. You can see the nuances of the color changes in the necklace.
