This very special necklace was created for the Spring 2011 Bead Soup Party! My swap partner was LeAnn Weih of Summers Studio and she sent me these amazing bronze clay pieces! Featured here are bronze clay charms and findings with raised sweet, old-fashioned skeleton key forms.

Alongside the gorgeous bronze clay components, I have added turquoise coins, Czech glass, new jade or serpentine, and a few enameled beads created by me. To add a splash of color and to vary the texture a bit, I have tied pieces of turquoise colored silk on either side of LeAnn's amazing clasp. There are sections of brass chain, as well as lots of wire-wrapping with brass wire.

This one-of-a-kind necklace measures approximately 18 inches.

Coordinating earrings listed separately.
