I first put together this grouping for the "Fashion POP" competition (Montreal in Fall 09) and after winning decided that these necklaces needed to be a part of my regular offerings! Their debut was this past October as part of a mini collection I did for Topshop in London as part of their EDIT program. This series of necklaces was sold exclusively this Nov/Dec at Topshop (Oxford Circus) and is now available here on Etsy!
The wood components of this necklace are laser cut using off-cut Mahogany lumber from my friend Mikes company, Furni (www.furnicreations.com). This design is a mix of mahogany, with etched lines and hand cut leather/vinyl (in this necklace the yellow is vinyl) geometric shapes. The wood pieces are finished by first sanding and then oiling to give them a natural yet rich look. The components are then joined with metal rings and finished off with a chunky metal chain. The final touch is a small wooden Norwegian Wood logo charm at the back neck. The necklace closes at the center back with an oversized lobstser clasp.
Measurements:
Width at widest point - 6 1/2"
Total Height (not including chain) - 7"
Chain length - 18"
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the rigidness of the necklace it needs to be shipped in a box to prevent it from snapping, the regular bubble envelopes I usually use will just not do in this case! Unfortunately a larger package means more expensive shipping, however I think we will all agree that receiving an item safely is worth the price of proper packaging, so I hope all customers understand the necessity of an increased shipping price compared to the fringe necklaces.
