A hammered link necklace…
I am really pleased with the results this technique has given me. It was so much fun to make as well; not at all tedious as repetitive work can be. I simply shaped 20 gauge gold craft wire into ‘S’ shapes and jump rings and flattened them with a silversmith’s hammer on a block. Then made a large ‘S’ shape with curled ends for the ‘S’ clasp! A large green fluorite drop and smaller green drops compliment the gold well I thought.
