Maggies Mom says:Great funky necklace, Jane! I love how you mix metals, it gives your pieces that fun and free look. You have an eye for mixing metals and stones.

Beady Little Eyes says:Beautiful sweetjane – had to look up givre beads. Love the brass and peach and green together. Another great design.

K Ralston says:Funky necklace. How cool. Seems like something you would wear so casually walking on a beach. At least that’s what comes into my mind.

Crystal Canary says:Fun piece! Love the brass connector & the droplet chain. Such a pleasurable piece to wear with all it’s movement. Does the chain slightly ‘jingle’ as it moves around?

sweetjane says:Thanks for all your lovely comments. I guess I just love this piece because of the different brass connector….and CC the chain does jingle a little bit. I wish we had more excuses to wear our jewelry…maybe by the end of summer into fall. I get my second shot in two weeks…and then I’m definitely getting my haircut.

Pearls Pearls says:I hear ya! 1st shot this week, and after the 2nd one, haircut top of the to do list.
Love this necklace! The focal is just great, I assume you did texture and patina of brass connector yourself, great job!
