Bright Retro Triangles - Jewellery Pendant & Earrings (CH0191)

Bright Retro Triangles – beaded geometric jewelry set comprising of a necklace and pair of earrings.

Bright Retro Triangles - Jewellery Set (CH0191)



This Bright Retro Triangles set came about when I was learning the Butterfly Clasp (by Heather Collin). This is but one of the many variations and results that came from learning the Beaded Butterfly Clasp. Learning is a journey and so much fun. Don’t you think?


Necklace / Pendant

The bail works like a hinge so that the triangular 3D pendant can swing – i.e. not stiff and rigid at the point where it connects to the bail.

The bail itself is worked around a Pandora-type or snake chain. 44cm long. Rhodium plated over copper and lead + nickle free. Though the bail can move along the chain, it can only do so for short lengths because the “bumps” along the chain help keep the pendant centered.

TIP:
The “bumps” along the chain is for pandora-style clip-on beads. So if I wanted to embellish this necklace further, I could . Which I think is cool.


Matching Earrings

The earrings are 3D triangles or pyramids.
