I had a picture in mind of a jewelry design I wanted to make.
However, as often happens, although I like the finished piece, it’s not what I originally envisioned.
The colors in the piece change, reflecting what you wear it with, which is a plus.
My jewelry design style is usually feminine and delicate, so this design is definitely “outside my comfort zone.”
I did a ‘test drive’ and wore these pieces to church, and also posted them on my Facebook page to see how friends reacted.

I really like the “dripping” feel of this necklace, Chris! And it feels a bit more edgy, with the alternating metal bar components among the bead dangles. The color-changing and reflections are a really great bonus in this design! And what kind of feedback did you get from your friends at church and online?
Thank you Rena! Many friends recognized this piece was different from what I normally design, but they really liked it.
I love the mix of metal and stone with a “flowy” feel. Nice use of the spacers. I have some and wondered what to use them for. Thanks for the inspiration.
