Pink & Black Tartan Bead & Chain Necklace



I didn't get an awful lot of anything productive today but I did design and make this necklace. It was designed as I went along so the whole process took about 2 hours but I am very pleased with it and think it looks very funky.

It uses Pink & Plack Tartain/Plaid fabric beads, pale pink anodized aluminium chain and Pink & Black 10mm anodized aluminium jump rings attached to form a chain. These components are all combined to make a 2 strand necklace with a cascade with an on-trend chunky, modern look. I love the mix of textures and the colour combination is brilliant. I haven't worked out the costing yet, but it will go on Etsy at some point so I will notify you when it does. I also need to get a decent picture of it being worn so buyers can fully appreciate it's look.

In the Pink


Just a little teaser from my new stash of beads and bits that arrived yesterday. These cool Pink Plain / tartan fabric covered beads are from Jilly Beads, which is also where the anodised aluminium chain is from. Not sure yet what exactly to do with them but they're going to be turned into some pretty cool punky Jewellery. Watch this space.....!!
