Normally the word "vintage" in a title puts me off, but this time I went with it. The necklace was called "vintage style lace necklace". I used black seed beads, jet bicones and the half Tilas are a lovely black but with shimmery iridescence on them.
I have to pat it all down flat when I put it on, I just couldn't get it to sit right in this photo!
It only took a couple of hours to make and I bought some copper beads so I can make another version in copper.
I had never worked with half Tilas before, I didn't even know they exist. Tilas are a square bead with 2 holes running through parallel. half Tilas are the same, but they are half size so are rectangular. I do love all these shaped beads that are coming out.
I had some time left at the end, so I whipped up a matching bracelet!

I really like this in its simplicity ~ great style and wonderful color choices. And if it can be made fairly fast, all the better!
So pretty! Love the colors :D
These turned out lovely! I absolutely love the Tila beads. Beautiful work!
Love vintage jewellery. This is necklace is splendid.
"Vintage" is a word that covers - or possibly inspires! - a multitude of sins, isn't it! I suspect the shaped beads are a relatively new thing, but regardless, this has turned out very well...
Wow, that's lovely. It looks like something they would wear on Downtown Abbey! xxx
