I've been meaning to do some jewellery DIY tinkering for ages & today I finally got around to it... I bought these gold coloured metal thingies back in July cause I felt they had DIY potential. I played around with this piece quite a lot but I'm still not happy with it. I might remove the big spacer beads in the middle: Then I jazzed up this plain wooden bead necklace that I bought from a car boot...

If I have a business meeting I may not wear any accessories other than overstated cuff links. Any accessory must be a focal point, and really say something. Favorite designers...
