My newest obsession; Rainbow Filigree!
I love using Amazon.com to find new charms to create exciting pieces. I have reticently found this stainless steel rainbow filigree and have been using it in a bunch of my listings.
At first I thought it would look great with silver. So I tried a few things and nothing looked right. I put the filigree in a storage container and I happened to have a bronze charm sitting next to it. A light bulb went off! I started pulling out bronze charms and seeing how they looked with the rainbow filigree. In my opinion, they looked amazing!
I have created 11 necklaces so far with it, and more to come. I sold one necklace to a co-worker who absolutely loved it. No sales on the filigree necklaces on my Etsy shop yet, but I'm hopeful.
Every year Etsy has their Design Awards. Each Etsy seller is allowed to submit one listing of their choice, in hopes it will be chosen. This is my first year to submit an item for consideration. I know the chances of winning are low but I had to try. I decided I wanted to submit a piece featuring the rainbow filigree I have become obsessed with.
My submission for the Etsy Design Awards.
I'm super excited to see how my necklace fairs against some of the other submissions. Let me know what you think of this and the other necklaces I have in my shop!
Thank you and safe travels,

Edit: I received and email from Etsy. My necklace did not make the cut. There's always next year!
