My posts of late have revolved around tabletop games, but I have continued making jewelry as well, albeit at a slower pace.

This necklace did not go according to plan at all. I used a very thick braided leather cord, and I bought a set of end caps with clasps for the cord, but it turned out the end caps were too large. I wrapped some jewelry wire to increase the cord diameter and then used E-6000 glue to hold stuff in place. Then I had all kinds of trouble figuring out how to suspend the heavy, chunky medallion. I have remade this bit a half-dozen times and wasted a lot of wire. I am not happy with this result either, but I decided it was time to quit nonetheless. And then the magnetic clasp I bought wasn't strong enough to hold the necklace on, so I had to grab a spare toggle clasp and make do. It's done now, but not to my satisfaction in any respect.
This went a lot better. I again used the same heavy leather cord, but I used antiqued brass cord ends, a similarly colored bail, and a premade cameo pendant.
An ornate cameo pendant on a chain and a set of simpler turtle pendants on another.
And here we have three pairs of earrings. On the left is a pair with shoe charms and glass pearl beads. In the center is a simple pairing of an ear hook connected to charms that resemble the top of the Chrysler building for some art deco architectural chic. On the right is an ornate dangly chandelier earring pair with keys, medallion beads, and blue cat's eye beads.
What do you think? Comment below! I am even open to reasonable offers in STEEM or SBD if you want to buy these.
