This necklace cost me JY3000 in Shimokitazawa. I was drawn to it because it seemed mysterious and spiritual, and it felt like it had magical powers!

I got it at Kookai so long ago that I' forgotten how much it was. Why'd I pick it? My mom offered to buy me something so I looked and looked for something I really liked and chose this.

I got this at WHO EVER for about JY30,000. I got it because it looks good on me, don't you think?

Whether you adorn your nape with the subtle beauty of a diamond choker or the gaudy glitter of Mr T-like chains, necklaces say as much about your personality as they do about your bank account.

bought it in St. Thomas for $300. Why'd I buy it? Because I love frogs of course!

I made this necklace myself, so it didn't cost me anything. I chose it because I'm too lazy to go out and buy one.
