Cloud Necklace
I knew I wanted to make Meghan something nature-oriented. To get some ideas, I scrolled through her Instagram where she has photos of the spectacular scenic landscapes she's visited on her travels. As you can see by the photos, a lot of them have water, mountains, and clouds. When I noticed all the clouds, I remembered one halloween when Meghan was Grumpy Care Bear. Grumpy Bear has a cloud on it's stomach that rains both water and hearts.
After reminiscing about our care bear halloween, I knew I wanted to make her something blue and white that resembled a cloud. And the best idea I came up with was this necklace!
The trickiest part of making this necklace was setting all the stones. When you solder a bunch of bezel settings together, there isn't a lot of wiggle room to set the stones. I definitely got my dads help for some of the setting (as you can see by the man-hands in the bottom right photo of the making of quartet).
I think this necklace represents Meghan and thankfully, she loves it!
*Note: the top left photo of the inspiration photo quartet is by our friend Alice. Meghan was on the same trip so I figured the photo counted and could be included!
