Mounds II - Custom Variation

This is a re-creation of my Mounds Necklace for a custom client completed last week…

sterling silver, plastic Barbie doll parts, resin.

26 Barbie boobies in various sizes/hues encased in sterling silver with oxidized finishing and hand-hammered chain detail. I'm happier with this necklace than I was with the original version because I was able to tweak the design to function even better this time around. Sometimes it can be incredibly satisfying to revisit an idea in an attempt to perfect it.

Here's a shot of the back of the piece:
