The necklace itself is a piece of clothesline wrapped with fabric (1-inch wide) and stitched with embroidery floss. I used some wire wrapping to keep the pieces together and added a twist to the clothesline. The closure is more wire wrapping and a simple clasp. I’m working on designing an upgrade to this part for future pieces (that’s part of the soldering lesson!).
That’s really cool I like the 6 rings=6 decades
When anyone in my family turns 21 they get $21 as their birthday present (probably for beer money)
I think it’s a grand tradition as I have 1 turning 21 in March

We used to give the nephews $1 for each year of their birthday…but it got too hard to remember after they turned $10 or so…
I love the idea of the rings on a necklace…it is like a secret that your mom can keep or she can show it off in her glory…lovely idea…
Disclaimer: I got the idea of the 6 rings from the Internet.
It was a bit tricky to figure out at first. I tried gluing to keep the fabric in place, but it just ended up mucking things up. Ultimately, I ended up pulling the fabric around the cord (1-inch width works for the size cord I have) and stitching it in place with a whip stitch. I have another one planned (for me this time), so I’ll try to get pics of the process to share.
I absolutely love this! I love your truly unique fiber jewlery projects, and how each one is a new experiment. I’m so glad you shared this in its own post.
That’s really neat. My husband just got me soldering iron for my birthday. I can’t wait to get into it. Ahhhh. Must. Make. All. The. Things.
I love the mixed-media aspect, copper with fiber, very, very neat. It’s probably an interesting sensory experience too
