The word “kaleidoscope” comes from the Greek word for beautiful (kalos), and we think that it lives up to its name.

For anyone who thinks of sequins as a neutral or anyone looking for a fuzzy alternative to a statement necklace, this simple tapered cowl will be just the thing. Made with a sequined yarn held with a strand of sparkly lace-weight silk–mohair, it is a shimmery treat to wear to holiday parties or just for a touch of glamour.
