Now while I love each and every one of my creations at my shop, this necklace is my absolute favorite.
A Quidditch necklace! Love it!
And I love how this piece came to be.
I was working on another necklace, my Miniature Time Turner necklace -
As it happens, those gold rings I use to make that necklace come as a set of three, attached to each other. I have to cut off one of them to free the right sized one for the time turner. So I have some unused tiny rings left.
I was just staring at those rings on my counter that day, and wondering what I would ever do with them, when they reminded me of something. The rings on the Quidditch goal posts.
I had a vision of three rings hanging from a necklace, but wanted to add more. Having just made a tiny golden snitch necklace also, I found the inspiration I needed. I would represent the game of Quidditch in a necklace with the goal posts and all the various Quidditch balls.
I chose to do it as a two layer necklace. The longer one with the three goal rings, and the shorter one with the Quidditch balls. The golden snitch is the centerpiece of the top layer, and then I added beads to represent the quaffle and bludgers.
No, I didn’t use the gold rings. They just didn’t look right. But those engraved silver ones are simply perfect for this necklace. The chain is very fine and bright silver. The whole necklace is very delicate and understated, even with all those elements, as they are all quite small. It is quite simply, gorgeous. It has gotten me more attention and compliments than anything else I have created so far. I just love it 
Hop on over to my shop to get one for yourself!
