❌ The Honeycomb ❌ I just thought I'd share a close up of the piece I introduced in yesterday's video! This honeycomb box necklace was my take on this month's #metalsmithchallenge and I couldn't be happier to have put my skills on test! The most challenging part was probably creating a closing mechanism 🙈 you guys know when you have super clear in your mind what should work, but then in reality it doesn't?! 😂 So, after about 10 failed tries, I came up with that little hinged hook with 3 amber beads dangling below like spilling honey drops 🍯. One very fun part of this piece was making the little hexagon amber cab! A few months ago I dropped one of my oval amber cabs and.. of course it chipped - 😭! Broken hearted I just put it aside hoping to find a use for it one day. And yesterday I got this idea that maybe I could turn the cab into a different shape! Since amber is a very soft material it wasn't too complicated to shape it with my saw, files and Dremel, but I think the result is pretty cute, and reminds me so much of a beehive cell filled to the top with glorious orange honey! 🐝 • ❌ Available on April 15th at noon pst ❌ • • • #silverbox #opthandmade #honeycomb #beesjewellery #amberjewelry #handmadejewelry #silversmith (at Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvo7CbFhQ4j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nq6uuz2doj6p
