Bellarina Baubles - A VERSION OF THIS WAS SOLD @ THAT BAZAAR

I've been sooooo inspired by Belinda's recent creations and her clever use of chains. So this piece is named in her honour :)

Classic, earthy tones dominate, and in-fashion high-quality Japanese gold-plated chain lends a posh, slightly decadent feel.

I especially like the matt-finish glass "pearls" and so decided to use a lot of them here. Some are accented with tiny Swarovski crystals and others are capped with clean, simple goldtone beadcaps.

For different looks, wear this necklace with a brooch like the one shown here or replace the rose with your own ribbon if you like. Perhaps a dark cream or brown velvet bow or satin-trimmed organza?

Toggle clasp is gold-plated.

Update as of 10 May: I've decided to keep this one :) I wore it to the office today and it attracted many compliments -- what a thrill! If you're keen on a similar piece, just drop me an e-mail. Thanks.

Update as of 22 May: I made a version of this for the Bazaar @ the Hilton and it went home with a sweet young lady. Hope she enjoys her Blingalicious creation!
