Hello Orchidland,

    Courtney brings up a question for me.  She commented that her
    husband wears the rubber cord constantly and it has become hard and
    leathery. 

    What kind of cord has been sturdy enough for this kind of constant
    wear? (Guys seem to never take a necklace off until it breaks.) I'd
    like something smooth and about 2mm diameter. Hemp is itchy and rots;
    silk rots; leather gets stiff and smells(!); reportedly rubber gets
    stiff. That leaves synthetic fibers. Other ideas? Your input is
    greatly appreciated.
