Amber Necklace


I was given a beautiful Amber and silver necklace by K. a couple of years ago. Although I liked it, I seldom wore it because it was just the wrong length for me. I finally got round to doing something with it a few months ago and I'm very pleased with the result.

I decided to go for gold wire, which I felt went well with the warm colour of the amber, and I created links, twisting the wire around round-nosed pliers. The links are of varying length, but they get longer towards the centre. I think the organic, irregular look goes perfectly with the asymmetrically-shaped amber pieces.
