Well this week I've been working on some necklaces. Don't get me wrong, I love making bracelets and never seem to run out of ideas for them, but I worry about prospective buyers getting bored with a shop full of bracelets. So I've stuck with pearls and made 3 new necklaces.
This Burgundy Bubbles Necklace is simply a variation on the Bubbles Bracelets in my shop and I will be working on different colours in this style over the coming weeks.
For this Silver Pearls Necklace I have used 12mm silver pearls with one 12mm caviar pearl as a focal point, handwrapped on black headpins and attached to antiqued silver chain.
And finally I made this Olive Pearls Necklace with 12mm and a focal 10mm olive green pearl on finer antiqued silver chain.
I find necklaces much harder to photograph than bracelets so I'd love some feedback!

Great idea! I love the Burgandy Bubbles necklace - and I think your photos look great. I always appreciate jewellery listings to specify if the metals are nickel-free though. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point Steph. They are all nickel free - maybe I should put that in the listings or even my shop announcement.
ReplyDeleteIs that your beautiful neck in the photographs?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunatley that is my 40 year old neck in the pics! :D
