Statement Flower Hemp Necklace; Favorite Styles Of Jewelry?

Hello! I wanted to take some time this morning to sit down, and make a post on here before I really start my day. I love waking up to a quiet house, sit at my computer with my coffee and check emails. I hear all the birds chirping and squirrels scuttling right outside my window. It makes me miss living in a quieter area. But alas, I cannot sit and daydream all day.


I made this necklace the other day that I feel turned out beautifully. 

I fell in love with this pendant when I first seen it, and had to purchase it.  


I have been very into the color blue for the past few months, and this bronze and turquoise flower just looks gorgeous. It has a faux pearl in the center which gives it a little splash of white to brighten the flower. Its has 3 rows of metal "petals" so its sturdy, and not some flimsy pendant that you're scared of breaking.

I used these blue/green( in the photo they look blue but in person they have a slight green tint as well) dyed quartzite beads to compliment the pendant, and give the rest of the necklace a little something.


I also used a few decorative knots, because I think they can class up any hemp necklace :)

And finally,  I closed the necklace with a knotted loop and a dark toned wooden bead. This makes it really easy to take on and off, and the knotted loop keeps you from struggling to put the bead through multiple loops. 



What do you guys think? 
It is available in my Etsy shop if you are interested in purchasing it!

Macrame; Necklace; Rose

                                     



This is a necklace I recently made. When I started making the necklace, I originally planned a completely different pendant.  However, the pendant I chose had a bale that was too small, and at the time I didn't have any rings to throw on it to alleviate the situation, so I switched out the pendant for this the pink rose. Although the small glass beads don't exactly math the pendant, I think it compliments the necklace enough to give it a little something, while keeping the pink rose as the focal point.  

It wasn't exactly what I had planned, but I'm content with the outcome. What do you guys think?

This necklace is currently available in my Etsy shop. You can view it here.
