I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

So a wizard tells me that she’d personally include something organic between the geometric structure and what will I do, disobey the wizard? Pfft, absolutely not. So this is my second attempt, I do realise the rocks look like massive chewed gum in the photos but that was as organic looking as I could go, with the limited choice and all. The irregular shape of the rock made it quite hard to form a geometric structure around it and the weight kept unbalancing the whole damn thing – in the end I came out with something completely different from what I’d planned. So again, mucho respect to jewellery makers, you guys rock; no pun intended.

    While the shape of the stones is exactly as I’d envision, I think a different color would look nicer. As you said, these kinda look like chewed-up gum…

    Still, I think you’re on the right track! :)

    love both versions, though probably the original a little more.

    i’ve been playing around with my own version of the dnyce necklace and already had a couple of friends ask for me to make them their own ones. seems a very popular necklace!

    I was wondering where that type of jewelry aesthetic was familiar, and I finally realized about two seconds ago: it reminds me of Azumi & David. (http://azumianddavid.com/)
    They’re not really a blogger’s secret, but if you don’t know of them, I think you will. I really loved their 08 collection with the geek glasses.

    Ohhh, and they just came out with their AW09 collection, and you’ve gotta love the furry tea cozies.

    […] Remember when I said I was thinking about taking a jewelry-making class? This morning I stumbled upon two posts’ worth of inspiration from Park & Cube. (On making a necklace, here, and integrating stones into it, here.) […]
