Tuesday Tidbits - Re-worked Rings & Things Blog Partner Design

I mentioned in the post last week about using the "M - Moments" charm that I wasn't quite satisfied with how it turned out. The other night I sat down and re-worked it. I'm now much more pleased:

I've moved the second gear to the same side as the first and used two large faceted carnelian stones with a couple additional CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements Red Magma bicones to the other side. It's still got balance but the effect is definitely asymmetrical. To close the chain I turned the large 'spinner' into a toggle to go through the gear - may need to use a smaller spinner, though. The copper "M" Moments Muse Token and spinners that were part of the package Rings & Things sent, the rest of the items were in my stash. Gears came from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology collection.

I made a bracelet that sort of coordinates, but I'm thinking about using more copper gears and the carnelian to make one that's more in line with this design.

Speaking of bracelets, come back tomorrow to see the bracelet frenzy part 2 post!
