Made for @kittykill for the January Ongoing Wish Swap, inspired by a similar necklace in her Pinterest. She says she has received it, so here it is! (I had a hard time waiting, partly because the package took WAY longer than expected to arrive. Postal service is making me crazy right now…

I stuck a vintage photo and a broken piece of vintage jewelry inside, but told her she should think about switching it out to make it more personal for her.

I really liked this project, and hope she enjoys the necklace!
