Necklace remake

My friend Yuko was invited to a wedding last weekend and she had asked me to remodel her long crystal necklace short to fit her dress. It was a fun project to remake an existing accessory and great to hear that she looked fantastic and had recieved compliments from her friends at the wedding!
先日友達が結婚式によばれたのでドレスに合うネックレッスのリメイクをお願いされました。リメイクプロジェクトは楽しかったし、何よりも彼女がとてもすてきで結婚式で褒められたらしいのでうれしかったです!

This is the original necklace. It's a simple crystal ball necklace that would look pretty on a nice summer dress. 
オリジナルはシンプルなクリスタルのネックレス、サマードレスに良く合いそう。



She sent me a picture of the dress that is black with spaghetti straps with a big beige swirl design in the front. So I made the single-strand necklace into 3 strands and made a choker that ties with a black ribbon at the back.
彼女にドレスの写真を送ってもらい、黒で細いストラップに胸元にベイジュの大きな渦のデザインがされているので、それに合うように長いネックレスを黒いリボンで結んで3連のチョーカーにリメイクしました。





But I also wanted to make something a little more special so what I made is a brooch with black and gold ribbon with an acrylic design.
もう少しスペシャルな事もしたかったので、黒とゴールドのリボンでこんなブローチを作りました。



What's special about this brooch is that it can also be attached to the choker like this.
このブローチ、何が特別かと言うとこのようにチョーカーに取り付けられるんです。



Of course, it can be worn separately and still look quite charming!
もちろん、それぞれ別につけてもとてもチャーミング!
