I have always wanted a long gold necklace with a crapload of charms dangling chaotically from it. The thing is, I don't have any necklaces that are quite long enough or any pretty charms to speak of. But I dug deep through my jewelery box and came out with a number of different necklaces that I was willing to destroy to create an new Justin Giunta-style necklace. I can't pretend that I'm handy with pliers, but I did manage to turn a bunch of different necklaces into just the one drape-heavy necklace I was looking for. Behold!
Because that photobooth shot gives a rather inadequate detail view of the charms, here is a better one. There's a heart, some skulls, a key, a buddha and is that a...?

That's cool! I like turning trash into treasure :)
Oh my god! It is indeed a....!
Amazing job! I really like the 2.0 version of this necklace.
very nice, but don´t you think that the buddha is a bit incompatible with the christian cross? I always like my jewelry to have meaning, but I suppose aesthetic value is ok too...
I really like the way it came out..looks great with the pearls incorporated into it
Ooh, clever!
Like Alix said, its interesting how theres a Buddha, Cross and Skulls in the same chain. haha
nice necklace either way.
Etsy has some gorgeous ones that are very similar but i think they get a little out of hand with the prices at times. i was eyeing one exactly like yours not too long ago but it was around $100 so i think i'll try to make my own instead.
neat-o
It's "jewelry" or "jewellery" (if you're English and 80 years old).
You needn't post my comment, just fix it please.
that is such a cool idea!
Nice DIY! Seriously inspirational, no joke.
You're pulling into the lead. Just think, soon you will be in New York, paying $5 for a fountain drink and being accosted by vagrants.
it's messy in a good way. i like it.
Great DIY, it looks fantastic! That is such a good idea.
