for the neck

A couple of weeks ago, I discovered some old (vintage?) drawer pulls and keyholes. Not that I have any furniture to mend, I just find them fascinating. Being a fan of quirky jewellery, when I see anything that I can attach a chain to, I see them as necklace pendants.

So that's what I'm planning to do - make them into necklaces and put them in my Etsy shop. What do you think? Is it something you would wear around your neck? Does the fact that they're made using recycled/upcycled objects appeal to you? Feedback is wanted and appreciated!

Oh, yeah. EXCELLENT idea and they are very appealing. I think they will sell.

Emily said...

Excellent idea, Anna! I'd buy one from you right now if I had some extra cash floating around :)

I hate that I never find anything that amazing near me!

Those are awesome. I'm seriously in love with the key-hole one--so much better than a key necklace!

Rebecca said...

Those are beautiful! And I love the fact that they're upcycled.

Emily said...

The drawer pulls are a bit heavy for my tastes (though I think someone with a bolder style could pull them off), but I LOVE the keyhole necklace. A very nice twist on the so-trendy key necklaces!

Love them, I think it's a wonderful idea and repurposing old things in a beautiful way is always a plus!

That's so cool! The shapes are really nice and I like that they're basically one of a kind.

Those are lovely. I would definately buy one... if I had any money.

Enteni Karyuk said...

amazing blog!!

ZombieLace said...

I would wear any of those in a second! I love the idea, it's almost like a new play on the old key around the neck. If people wear keys, why not key holes or other door accouterments?

genloz said...

Perfect for t2t ;-)

Rain said...

I love your creativity with the pendants! thumbs up!
