There was a little controversy over the chunky Amethyst accessories shown at the Chanel Fall 2012 runway (mostly because they looked rather a lot like cult-status pieces by Pamela Love). And while Karl & co have decided they won't actually produce some of the more "similar" items, out of respect for Ms Love, there is no reason why (with the help of this DIY) we can't channel them just a little!
How to: DIY Raw Crystal Necklace
