I could call this the chain grand tour also... and the great thing is this piece is almost entirely made from items I bought at the flea market back in October!I have 7 different chains in gradated sizes cascading down from a re purposed vintage broach. The broach pin on this was broken in a way you couldn't fix... so I carefully removed it and filed and sanded the back for safety's sake.
The rhinestones in this one are glass, I imagine this is early 60's because of it's style, but they are pronged so it's possible it's little older. They are a great tanzanite color. The tassel is from another vintage necklace. I wanted the chains to increase in size, so everything on this is vintage except 2 of the chains, to give me the size spread I wanted.
I had a bunch of fun making this and working out issues such as weight balance.
