    I have a challange for all of you creative folks out there.  A
    friend of mine would like a piece of jewelry made from a set of
    guitar strings (they belonged to someone famous). The strings are
    steel and very springy. Each of the 6 strings is a different
    thickness with the two thickest being wrapped. My first thought was
    of some sort of neck piece perhaps with 6 strands at graduated
    lengths with beads or metal ornaments of some type spaced at
    intervals on each strand. I don't know how this would work with the
    springy wire. The beads would hopefully weight it down, but I would
    want the piece to be comfortable to wear. I thought a bracelet would
    also be a possibility. 

    Any suggestions out there would be so very much appreciated.
