I'm afraid this is a bit of a dull post (aren't they all!) with only one photo. The Wonderful Mum and I went to a class at The Bead Shop Nottingham to practice working with solder again. Last time we made copper components and I made my favourite piece of jewellery: this copper bunny necklace.
This time we were working with sterling silver wire and I made my second favourite necklace ever! I really should get it together to do some soldering at home as I really do love the results.
This simple piece is 3 wire circles, hammered to give them texture (I only hammered the outer two), then soldered to make continuous circles. It's then simply hung on a chain. I like it because it's understated and though I usually wear more statement kind of jewellery, I like something elegant once in a while.

It looks just as good as the ones you can buy so fantastic first go! What's your first favourite necklace then?
Yes indeed, simple and elegant, and actually rather stunning, even so..
This is a beautiful necklace - really elegant and sophisticated. Congratulations! I often wish I could solder - just simple things like jump rings, so that jewellery is more secure and won't work open.
Best wishes for a creative a happy week.

This is beautiful Wendy! I really love it! :) x
Oh I like your new necklace! It's exactly my cup of tea. I think it will come handy for many occasion and the nice thing is that's it's not heavy (I can't stand heavy stuff around my neck; must be my age!!!)
That is gorgeous. I would totally buy something like that and wear it all the time. It's lovely watching your skills develop as you learn more.
I LOVE it! I'd wear this every day. Great job! :D
