Be Inspired – Vintage Sunflower Spiral Necklace

Vintage Sunflower Spiral Necklace

So this month yellow was the brief, the colour that represents ‘happiness’ and the colour of the sun. My problem with this was that yellow would usually be my least likely colour choice given the option, so my aim for this jewellery making project was to take this super sunny colour and tone it down a notch or two. 

craft wire can create a touch of elegance to a jewellery piece.

I feel that the antique copper craft wire works beautifully alongside the yellow fimo flower beads, because it and creates a slightly more delicate tone to it and that it sprinkles a dash of vintage into the mix.

I’ve been experimenting a lot with craft wire the last few months so it felt natural to incorporate it somehow into this jewellery making project, I also feel craft wire can create a touch of elegance to a jewellery piece.

After I’d completed the necklace I realised that I actually really loved what I’d created and that I’d tailored a colour which I’d never usually choose to suit my own palate, and of course a splash of Swarovski Elements always helps!
