Clusters of Beads and Gems

In the 70's, when I was a wee bit younger, my mum always had this amazing ring in her jewellery drawer. It was cheap but fantastic plastic, and made up of all these little beads, which rattled about as the ring moved. I borrowed it everytime dress-ups were happening.

I'd always wanted to make one in SL, and did...but then I couldn't settle on a colour and the idea grew, as I started having way too much fun in Photoshop making bead textures. And then it became a whole set. "Eclectica Clusters Jewellery Set-Daytime Glow".....

(click all pictures for a decent-sized view)



And then as I liked gems as well, it became two sets."Eclectica Clusters Jewellery Set-Evening Glitz".....



Both have a single removable script per piece that allows you to play with the textures to get the look you want. Both have multiple bead options and black, silver and gold metal options. "Evening Glitz" also has hidable/showable details, plus the ribbon is either black or ivory. All pieces are copy/mod, so you can further customise them to make them exactly how you wish.

Style them to be contemporary or retro- either way suits.

Here I am,circa 1975 (courtesy of a time machine), freshly returned from the hairdressers and now hostessing in the kitchen, about to prepare a tupperware-tray of cheese cubes, gherkins and cocktail frankfurts (in Australia, we still call these 'little boys'...waits for the full horror to set in), all with festive little toothpicks stuck in them...



A little later in the evening, a closeup of the "Evening Glitz" dress ring (perhaps while serving little chicken mornay vol-au-vents).....



And just to demonstrate the daytime to eveningwear theme...a randomly gratuitous shot taken a la disco ball....
