Blackbird Locket

 I have often been asked if I make lockets, and while I have made a couple in the past, more recently I haven't.

So I had a good think about what sort of lockets I wanted to make and this is the end result! 

This Blackbird Locket is quite small, the heart shape measure approx 26mm x 20mm. It is made in fine silver and the bird is enamelled (black obviously :) ). The stones are lab garnets and are 2mm in diameter, and then there is a little 24k gold decoration just to finish it all off.

I was quite chuffed with this when I finished it yesterday! :D


The back has a sunburst design and my little Joy logo.
 

The front swings open and is held closed by a little magnetic clasp. Inside are a few more 'hidden' garnets.


I'll be making some more little lockets very soon, so watch this space! 
I'll also be teaching this project in the future.

Have fun!

  1. You deserve to be chuffed, it's a lovely locket, Joy.
    And the magnetic closure is a terrific idea. Look forward to seeing more of your creations.
