If you go to any store in the mall right now, you’re bound to be inundated with fringe everything, from shoes to clothing to handbags to jewelry. Fringe is a huge trend for spring and summer, but it can feel tired pretty quickly. You can get in on the fringe trend in a more unique way by embracing tassels, which are basically just another version of fringe (kind of – in my book, anyway. They have a similar shape!). Tassels look best on accessories, especially jewelry.
The inspiration for this necklace started with just an African brass face pendant, then I noticed a small exotic perfume bottle turned into the body. While looking through my treasures, I discovered the helping hand charms. All the African face needed were legs, and a couple of Ecuadorian brass spoons served the purpose. I could have used many various colors of threads for this project but somehow the purples and mauve hues entwined with gold threads are perfect.
