I can't list all of these individually but if you were interested in a crystal necklace, they're 10$ USD ea or 20$ for 3. If you live in the USA then shipping is 5$.
All wire is pure copper. The rough crystals in the last image might be a bit heavy for some people, but I find everything else to be a comfortable weight. The flower motif ones in the third image are made with polymer clay surrounding the stone.
Each necklace comes with a ~22 inch black cord necklace with a lobster clasp backing.
Message me here or on Discord ( _dna ). Payment can be done through Paypal, Etsy, Cashapp, or Venmo.

i had an executive function streak today! a list:
replaced the lobster clasp on the necklace i got J for our anniversary
vacuumed the living room rug
made a gorgeous plum and arugula salad for lunch
added D-rings to the back of a piece of art i've been meaning to put up in our bedroom, then attached wire and got it on the wall (it's relevant that this was a multi-step process and i completed all the steps. that's hard for me)
biked to the hardware store for bigger drill bits
got us a loaf of bread while i was out
finished putting up the floating shelves in our bathroom (that's what the drill bits were for)
cooked dinner: soft boiled eggs in a gochujang sauce + chinese tomato and celery salad

I was looking up diy instructions on how to make a tattoo choker 'cause I have some fishing line beading string and some beads and gd I loved those chokers back in the day.
but im
so confused??????
by how many of them start out with "buy some stretchy beading cord"???????
you ... you don't need stretchy cord???? the loose loops are what gives it its stretch!
Like it would be one thing if they were just like "I didn't feel like going out and buying more craft supplies, this is what I had on hand so I'm just gonna use it". No, literally every one I saw listed "stretchy/elastic cord" specifically as one of the necessary materials and at least one explicitly said "Step 1: Buy elastic cord".
I kept flipping through different tutorials trying to find one that used the right cord until I finally gave up and figured well at least I can get the actual pattern, I don't need them to be using the same materials
so I got the pattern and I skipped to the end just to see how they closed it and
guys
you made a necklace that was already designed to be stretchy
then you (unnecessarily!) added stretchy cord to it
so you made a doubly stretchy necklace
WHY DID YOU FINISH IT WITH A LOBSTER CLAW CLASP???????
why are you doing ANY of the things you are doing?! do YOU even know why?!
The ONLY possible justification I can imagine for this is that the stretch cord makes it so that, when you actually stretch out the necklace, the loops get completely warped and some of them tighten into proper knots and it completely fucks up the pattern
BUT THEN WHY USE THE ELASTIC AT ALL????? WHY NOT JUST USE LITERALLY ANY OTHER NON-STRETCHY CORD????
Listen
the tattoo choker is made with fishing line cord
BECAUSE IT HOLDS ITS STRUCTURE
It is a CLOSED CIRCLE. You get it on your neck by stretching it out, and because the hard plastic cord is rigid and WANTS to be straight, the loops widen back up and the choker returns to its smaller size. This is also what makes it probably the ONLY truly "one size fits all" thing in the world because it can accommodate any size neck without any discomfort
It doesn't need any extra help with elastic cord and jewelry clasps! You're just making a thing that was already designed perfectly, worse!
