 Topic: large diamond necklacePosted: 4/04/07 at 8:39am |

Hi, everyone,
I'm producing Play On!, for which I need a prop necklace - the "Delhi Diamond." I've looked online at several sources, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for - a large "diamond" at the center of an ornate necklace. Everything I've found has color to it or features a large "pearl." Does anyone have any ideas for places I could look for this prop? Or should I buy a ring (I saw several large "diamond" rings) and convert it to a necklace? Thanks so much! Melissa |

Not sure how large you are looking for, but you could try www.orientaltrading.com
They have a wide variety of things you could possibly use to make your own necklace. I see a 42mm clear/opaque gemstone listed with their beading/craft supplies. I'm a bit rusty on my metric to american conversions, but 42mm sounds pretty big.
Or try your local hobby store: Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc
Good Luck.

Go to your local Toys R Us, and look at the childrens dress up jewelry. You may find a princess necklace, tiara, or crown with a large plastic jewel that may work

Depending on how large and how comical you want the diamond to be, you could always find a crystal doorknob at a hardware store or antique store for about $5.00 - $10.00. |

And as a side note: our props mistress once made a fabulous diamond ring by using hot-melt glue to attach a cluster of chandelier crystals to a simple band. From the stage it read quite impressively. |
