I did not plan on submitting something to the fashion show at the One of a Kind Show this year, simply because with everything else going on, I didn’t think I’d have time to craft something worthy. However, when they invited me to submit something last week, I couldn’t say no. So over the holiday, I whipped up a piece with size X12 (12ga 7/16″ / 11.1 mm) anodized aluminum. There are about 325 rings in this necklace. This batch of iridescent gunmetal came out just perfect, and I can’t wait to make a few more pieces to wear in the booth!
The photo isn’t the best, but I literally had about 2 minutes to shoot it, before I had to pack it up and get it in the mail. And now, to run back home and make more jewelry! All of my scale pieces sold at the DIY Trunk Show, so I’m making dozens more by Thursday. Whew!

Karen – no pattern. It’s pretty free-form. I started by creating lengths of shaggy loops. Then I joined the strands together with new rings. By joining, the design got a bit more “full” and it also helped the strands stay put. Before I had joined them, some of the strands would loop up and around the main neck strand, instead of hanging straight down (if that makes sense), which led to some weird puffy lumps.
The iridescent gunmetal color is a tricky one to achieve. We are likely going to be selling it is a “mix” instead of trying to get it to be a solid color. We should have some X12s (the size used in this necklace) online soon, as well as size H18 I believe.
