On My Workbench: Dinner Knife Handle Bell Pendant Necklaces


A peek into my workshop...
Dinner butter knife handle bell pendant necklaces

What better way to keep a family heirloom close
at heart than to wear it next to your heart? 

Take a look and see how I transform antique & vintage 
silverware into one of a kind beautiful jewelry. 



Creating bell necklaces from antique dinner knives.



These are single tines from forks! I will suspend them from inside the knife handle where they will serve a special purpose...



The fork tines serve as bell clappers. The sound is a delicate chime.




No two that I create are exactly alike. Each is unique!



I accent each with different beads, either a gemstone, pearl or crystal.
