Crystal Canary says:Beautiful work! I love how the little seeds flair out on the sides creating the look of fringe. Such hard work that definitely paid off in a stunning piece.

JenJouterie says:This is beautiful chainmaille work. My arthritic fingers salute you! The chain pattern with the green beads reminds of fiddleheads in the spring. Perfect with your fern printed shirt.

dolllady aka Pam says:I agree with what everyone else has said. I have tried chain maille on a pair of earrings. One earring turned out fine but the second was held together bracelet extra jump rings on the backs but still don’t look alike. I keep them around to remind me of my failures.

Little Round Chick says:Wow! I have to agree with all of the above. This is a fabulous necklace. Wish I could do chain maille but a carpal tunnel problem shoots that down.
