using rocks

this necklace was the first time I used pyrite, I love this rock, it gives me the same feeling as brass


I used the same chain as the pyrite necklace on this one.

cluster necklace

after I made this I decided that the middle chain is too thick, stands out too much, I like the little blue beads in the mix though!



Here’s a pic of the final version, I think the thinner chain looks much better. Although, it was a pain taking apart the cluster and putting it back together. It might look like a random connection of beads, but it actually took forever! If it wasn’t placed in the right spot it would stick out so I kept having to take it apart.

necklace and earring set

Made a matching set, earrings and necklace. I experimented with different ways to hang the three chains in the middle of the necklace, I had two of them hanging straight down on either side, then I had them connected to more oval pieces, but it all seemed too much. The chain at bottom of earrings is the same as middle of necklace and the oval shape of the earrings are echoed by smaller ones in the necklace.

had enough of these geometric shapes to make another set

series of necklaces



the previous necklace actually started out as a pair of earrings I made, I was making a second pair and then realized it would look good with some chain

My First Necklace!

This is the first time making a necklace, I love it! At first I was thinking I'd hang brass pieces from it, but nothing seemed to work, it all seemed too much.....so it's complete! A simple necklace with two types of chain.
