Super lightweight and colorful, these large dangly earrings will add big POW to your outfit without weighing down your poor earlobes!

Fresh and lightweight necklace carefully wire wrapped in sterling silver. I've taken little circles cut from recycled wool sweaters, added faceted stones in bright carnelian and raspberry garnet, and attached them to a sleek sterling box chain. A bit of a statement for a woman who doesn't like super chunky jewelry but still likes to wear something unusual.

Yummy greens, from sage to khaki. The brightest green came from a slightly flecked sweater, so you will see a few nubs of other colors!

Vino Chunky Necklace (recycled sweater felt)

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:46:32 -0500

$98.00
Yummy, sophisticated color combo that always reminds me of merlot and chardonay! Recycled wool sweaters have been felted and carefully cut into circles, then strung together with serpentine, dyed/faceted purple jade, amethyst and wood beads. Sterling silver wire wraps up the translucent open square bead, as well as clasps it off! A nice mix of soft, fuzzy feltiness and smooth, hard and sparkly beads.

I like to use a variety of tones of the same colors in my work, so you will be astounded how many things you will find to wear with this necklace! Toss is on with a plain tee shirt or dress it up with a fabulous dress! Gift it with a bottle of wine and tickets to Sonoma?

Approximately 17.5 inches (45 cm) but fits snugly like a choker due to its chunkiness. Just convo me if you would like reassurances it will fit a certain neck!

Lime, grass, maroon, red, chocolate brown, purple and lavender wool felt from recycled sweaters.

Statement necklaces are all the rage; have you checked Anthropologie or J Crew lately? But why buy a generic version when you can have something handmade, utterly unique AND recycled??

Fabulous bib necklace, made of recycled wool sweaters, felted and carefully cut into circles. A riot of colors that are matched to glass and stone beads in lime, aqua and purples. Will look fabulous with a little black dress or a white tee. But I use lots of tones of the same color in my jewelry, so you will be astounded at how much in your wardrobe will coordinate with this necklace! Makes a spectacular gift for the “green girl” or “purple woman” in your life who loves chunky jewelry.
