I realized that I never posted photos of one of my favorite recycled-chained pieces from last year.

This necklace combines similar lengths of very different types of chain--small links, large links, round links, oval links, etc. All of the chain is suspended between findings connected to a neck chain.

Some of the recycled chain is silver and some is gunmetal grey. I think the 2-tone look is kinda cool.

It was actually a lot of work to match up lengths of chain (I had to measure twice and cut once, but then measure again and cut again after getting it wrong the first time, haha) and to assemble them in a way that was aesthetically pleasing. I sometimes wonder if people who don't make things (jewelry specifically) realize just what goes into making those things. I know for sure that I'm very naive about the work needed for projects I don't do.
But I think it was all worth it!
