Links of Love Deux

Skill Level – All
Price $65 Includes Class Kit and Supplies

Links of Love make their appearance once again in this divine necklace. Who can resist the wee bit of pink we all fell in love with the first time, a flash of crystal and a splash of vintage that all come together to create the “Links of Love” necklace; a piece of jewelry that echoes the beauty of the past.


Join Somerset Artist and Writer Kristen Robinson in creating this delightful necklace. Sterling silver charms with words full of love intertwine with pearls, vintage charms, rosary chain, silver chain and the centerpiece - a felted heart. The class is process based with bounds of inspiration to take with you into other projects. We will cover basic composition, jump rings, wire wrapping and the principles of needle felting. Please feel free to bring additional trinkets or charms you may wish to attach to your necklace.
