Miss Havisham necklace
I’m not normally much of Goth lol but when I saw this skull cameo it instantly reminded me of Miss Havisham from Dickens Great Expectations. This piece features a decaying antique silver chandelier on one side (if you have the Penguin classic collection you’ll recognize it ) and Miss Havisham’s wedding day pearls fading from white to grey to black on the other. Miss Havisham herself sits in the center a top the blackened lace remnants of her wedding dress.
You can find Miss Havisham in my Etsy shop 
Alice
Just a peek at my Alice necklace… It’s not quite done yet but soon. I’ve been working on it forever, adding and taking away pieces. I wanted the theme clear without it being too childish.
DRJ: Melon tangle necklace
My Sunday is all about jewelry again. Well jewelry and 3 cheese lasagna, yum. I finished up my Melon multi layer chain necklace and just love how it turned out because it really shows my love of vintage costume jewelry! It all started with some vintage lucite cabs I found deep in the internet. I was worried the lucite would look plastic-y but they don’t and I adore the melon color. I added a couple of the vintage faceted glass cabs I had shipped form Paris not long ago and then started piling on the chain and pearls. I tied it up with black soft spun grosgrain ribbon which adds some drama. I left the ribbons unstitched though, so I can change it out for ivory or maybe peach. As always, I wanted a piece that made a statement but wasn’t over whelming. Also, I wanted a bit of tangle but not so much that it looked like a hot mess that fell out of the bottom of your jewelry box. I think it came together nicely. Unfortunately I only have a few of these cabs so this piece is limited edition. The melon necklace is in my Etsy shop, if you care to take a peek 
Speaking of jewelry… I decided it would be fun to do a DRJ Bubble necklace give away. So, stay tune for that later this week!
