My partner Kristen Latimer of MJM Jewelry Designs sent me some great soup. I made a very simple necklace using just the focal and clasp. I love the focal and wanted it to stand alone because of it”s beauty. I made this necklace for me to wear with jeans and T shirt my uniform. I attached 7 strands of black chain and knotted all the chains on one side attached to half of a toggle. Added the flower lampork so it sits on the side. The toggle clasp rounds out this simple but elegant necklace.
With the extra crystals,cateye,and vintage silver beads I made a bracelet. I handmade the clasp and used a Sterling silver oval.
You can find Kristen at MJM Jewelry Designs.Etsy.com and she has a blog with lots of eye candy too. MJMJewelrydesigns.blogspot.com.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful designs. That necklace is a show stopper. I absolutely love it! Simple yet bold, it is a great piece to wear summer through autumn!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I especially love the bracelet. The flower on the necklace was the perfect touch. I joined your blog.
ReplyDelete"Simple" as it may be, that necklace is really a showstopper! Less is definitely more in this case. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love how you knotted the chain in the necklace - genius! :)

ReplyDeleteI hope you'll join me again in the summer!
OK, now I'm ready for summer! I agree, you did the right thing with that focal, it needs to stand alone, because it is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to remember the knotting of chain technique...and your focal is stunning, and definitely a stand alone piece!
ReplyDeleteI love how simple and clean your design is.
ReplyDeleteGreat choices!
Ooh love the necklace! Simple but bold. Great job!

ReplyDeleteThank-you all for your kind comments. Pam
ReplyDeleteI love that necklace! Any time I try to do something like this its a total flop. Yours is so sweet and makes me think of warm summers. Your bracelet is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteYou did a superb job of showcasing that beautiful glowing focal and clasp. Love the necklace and the bracelet is very sweet too!
ReplyDeleteI like asymetrical necklaces very much, although I'm always fighting against myself, when I try to do it not symetrical. The lampwork flower on the one side is a wonderful eyecatch and surely the perfect outfit for a sunny day! Very well done!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Pretty! I especially love the necklace with the flower focal and multi-strands of chain!
ReplyDeleteThat necklace is ultra-chic! Love the color on the flower, and it goes SO well with the antique finish chain.
ReplyDeletePam, I love the necklace. Love the knot in the multi-strands of chain. Great idea. The bracelet is really pretty too. Great job! It is a perfect blue jeans/tee shirt accessory.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute necklace. Great soup design! Cheers!
