I was looking around the web for some "jewelry" that would match the 18th Century fashion we'll be having our wedding in. I saw this and thought hmmm how hard would it be to make. I could match the lace easily enough. And cameo's couldn't be that hard to find.

I think I'd just need to do a search for the clasps and how to attach them on the back? Though technically you could just tie them.

Thoughts?

Oh also depending on the weight of the cameo pendant you might want to reinforce the lace, make it thicker to actually stand up and hold up on the neck correctly like a choker should.... maybe if you use the lace as an overlay on some sation or velvet ribbon would be pretty...

I was thinking over some form of "matching" cloth or something else *nod* I used to mess with jewelry a bit just have never done chokers, was more along the line of earrings and such, which are really easy to attach things to hehe.

I'm sure they won't prove too difficult if I decide to do them for my maids :hi: Glad you had links!
