In reply to Melinda. Melinda! Thank you so much for letting me know! You just made my day. I'm so glad to know your "mummies" might get out and finished! :)

As always, I enjoy viewing the beautiful creations posted by yourself and others. I thank you and others for sharing. I have not been creating for too long (my ever-growing stash disagrees with that statement!) and unfortunately I do not always have a lot of free time to create but when I do, nothing is more disappointing when one tries to replicate a design idea that has been floating around in the brain and multiple attempts are unsuccessful. Then time is up, the failed project is wrapped up in a tea towel and added to the growing number of “failed/not finished/forgot what I was trying to accomplish” projects...that are beginning to look like a pile of wrapped mummies in a long forgotten tomb! Haha. Thanks to your informative directions, I now understand why one of my design ideas failed! If you had just shown the 3 links between the hoops without explaining that having those 3 links allows the necklace to lay flat when worn...I likely would have never figured that out...at least not in the limited time I have available to create! For lack of a better description, that mechanical or “engineering” knowledge of jewellery design, so to speak, may be simple and a given for others with more design experience but not so necessarily for me or other “newbies”! So thanks to you, I will be going on a “archeological dig” soon to retrieve one of my mummified by tea towel incomplete projects! Thank you Rena!

I love this idea. And it’s perfect for using the many links I’ve gotten from taking apart old jewelry to “repurpose”. Thanks once again!

I really like this necklace, it’s simple yet classic. I also like it because it seem like a project I could undertake. Very nice looking! Always a great tutorial.

I like the bold design of the big black rings versus the little gold chain. It is very eye catching.

Great tutorial! The choker turned out so pretty. I think it’d look really good at a longer length, too.

I love how dramatic this piece is, and how thrifty it is, too, since you used leftover pieces from other projects. Nicely done!

Nicely done! I’m just investigating silversmithing and am coming up with so many possibilities and designs it’s mind boggling! Now I want to go look thru my box of broken jewellery and see what I can make. 🙂

I love that you created this from leftover pieces of other necklaces. I’m a fan of your blog and love your tutorials and sense of community you’ve created.

Rena,
That is very beautiful. I have a version I have made like this from an idea that was in a magazine, I had read. Well it has stones( beads of any kind) and is actually made out of filament aka fishing line. I just interlocked them together and they are sort of a big hit. But I like what you came up with, about plain old wire, and chain.

I love this! The very first thing that popped into my head when I saw this is turning it into a belt. It would be so easy to get super creative with a design like this!
