The Year of Jewelry ~ Week 4 ~ and are my fingers tired☺

I can't even tell you how happy I am with this one☺

With the exception of the 2 small pink beads

(which are 'reconstructed turquoise')

everything about this necklace is handmade☺

I made some "organic" links using steel wire and enameled them

along with some iron beads.

I added a couple of ceramic beads by an 

"unknown to me" artist here in AK that I got at a bead show,

and two JulsBeads.

All of the wire wraps and links are made with annealed steel wire

and I seriously believe my fingertips are actually swollen.

This turned out even better than what I had in my head!

It is totally different than what I am usually inclined to make

and even with the dark wire work, I think it still looks bright and cheerful!

Think maybe this Year of Jewelry Project might be doing me some good

~LOVE!~
