Beach Day Necklace Set
About this design:
"Waste not want not", right?! That is sort of the theme with this necklace. Once I was done making the Campfire & Sunrise on the Water Acrylic Necklaces I had a bunch of leftover links of acrylic chain in addition to left over antique brass chain. That's all it took to get my wheels turning. I love combining colors in unexpected ways, so this was a natural progression.
I linked the blaze chain links together, then linked on the sea glass chain links on either side of the blaze links. Once those where combined, I just added 4" of antique brass chain at each end with a clasp. This made a lovely choker necklace (18.5"), which sounds bigger than it actually is. I paired this choker with the Nepalese glass because I love the earthy boho vibe these beads bring to the set.

Moogie says:Of the designs you just posted, this is my favorite! I have to say I’m not a big fan of the acrylic chain but the way this came together is so colorful & fun! Love the big brass chain with it. And I’ve been lusting after the Nepalese strands ever since they appeared at Lima. Since my summer goes on for months more, I could still get alot of wear out of this!
