Story of Your Design:
This is really light and so comfortable to wear. The watch head is what inspired me to build the piece. I thought it was so exquisite I had to have it — and I am a real "Timex test" on jewelry! I figured that if I built a conventional wrist watch, it wouldn't last 5 minutes. As I was building it, my kids gave me a hard time, thinking I had built it upside down… until I let them try it on to see how it worked when you wore it. Then I got to laugh at them : )

I built this from the watch out to the ends. I measured out a good focus length so when I am wearing my watch, I can see my watch face clearly. The rubber lets the watch move without crinkling or catching on the liquid silver seams. Then I built my pattern and used a 3mm round sterling bead to buffer between the pattern end, and the rubber beginning. I put rubber on the part that lays on the back of my neck so it would be comfortable and the seams in the silver would not pull any hair. I broke apart a liquid silver necklace that I had for this but they are the same size as the #24-257. I put a solid jump ring on the "eye" of a 2" eye pin, then my pattern, then wrapped that on the open loop of the watch. Then with a small jump ring I made the chain tassel and wire wrapped the dangles from the ends of the individual wire with some ball end head pins like the #37-552.
