Love and Faithfulness Necklace

This necklace goes to S'More Couture for a while to see if it sells.  So far the necklace I put in my Etsy shop is being noticed a little but it remains to be seen if it will sell.  These are a bit unusual so they will only appeal to a small audience.  Most think they are interesting but wouldn't want to buy one.  They do get noticed, however.  Not being a jewelry-wearer, I have made myself wear these to see how durable they are.  I've had to "fix" the first one three times but I think I've got all the glitches cured now.  We'll see how this one "wears."

Here are some of the things that went into this necklace:
Assortment of heart charms from forgotten jewelry
assortment of chains from necklaces and bracelets
earring dangles
handmade dangles
a key
a keyhole plate
vintage text
watchmaker's glass vial with watch parts and beads
purchased charms
purchased toggle fastener
lots of time

I'm not great at using tools of any kind but I'm getting a little better each piece I make.  Try it.  You may like it and you can purchase a jewelry-making tool set very inexpensively--or--use your husband's or Dad's or Grandpa's or friend's needle-nosed pliers--or your Mom's if she's into fixing things.

The scripture inspiration comes from Psalm 3:3-4--"Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.  Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man."
