Had a call from a client this week…she was looking for a “build on” jewelry item. She heads up a sales force, and wants to reward them for acheiving levels of success. She tasked me with coming up with an easily repeatable, unique piece of jewelry that could be used to build upon…when her representatives acheive a level, they get another piece of the jewelry.

My first thought was a charm holder necklace. I developed a prototype and made some sample charms out of scrap wire. I wore it at the fair today and really liked it…while it had 7 charms on it (only 5 in the photo), it was lightweight, and really looked attractive! I can see anyone easily adding to the charm holder and making it something really personal.

I’m still thinking on the idea…but this remains one of my personal favorites, and I will probably make one for myself! Instructions soon on Beading Help Web.
