The green bead at the top and the brown one below the wooden bead are from Heirlooms in Glass. The pinecone is a glass bead I picked up a few years ago at a local craft fair (unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the artist), and the red leaf is by Elaine Ray.
This came together so easily. I was afraid the green bead mixed with the red leaf might make it a bit too Christmas-y, but I don't think that's the case. I strung this on a simple copper chain--anything else felt like overkill.
I'm very pleased with the results and I think it will be a staple in my wardrobe this winter.

This is a delightful and very wearable necklace. I''m a huge fan of copper so that may make me a little biased. :) I too worry about pairing red with green sometimes and trying not to make it look Christmas-y. This piece looks nature inspired and rustic, with no particular holiday theme.
ReplyDeleteRustic. Wearable. And I love copper. Perfect everyday every season piece.

I love this type of stacked design but can't manage it myself, Stephanie. These look like they really belong together... lovely style!
