Saying goodbye to some beloved designs

 

#tbt to earlier this week when I sent out the last ever Hera Broad Collar Body Chain with a mix of joy and sadness. I feel strongly about offering short runs and limited editions of designs to add their uniqueness. Many of my designs include vintage materials, available only in limited quantities, which add to what makes them special. With all of the mass production in today's world I think there's something really wonderful about having something that only a few others in the world will have. A striking statement piece would be much less striking if it had been seen on a hundred people before. I truly love making unique pieces of jewelry, hand made with love and thoughtfully chosen materials. That being said, it still feels bitter sweet whenever I send out the last of any design. I love all of my creations deeply and saying goodbye to them is always a little sad, but much less sad than I'd be if I were selling mass produced dispassionate jewelry.

The Dolorous Jewelry Convertible Body Chain

Did you know that several styles of Dolorous Jewelry Body Chains can be worn in a wide variety of ways!? Versatility is always something I consider whenever designing new Dolorous pieces and when is comes to accessories I've always believed the more ways you can wear it, the better! Our signature style of convertible Body Chain all began with this piece, the Pandora Convertible Harness. I can honestly say this piece is one of my personal all time favourites and is a Body Chain that I wear all the time in all kinds of ways. I particularly like wearing it over loose oversized shirts and dresses, to synch in the waist, or peaking out from underneath some of my favourite outfits to add a little intrigue!

To help show people the amazing versatility of this piece I even commissioned this gorgeous illustration of a few of the many ways to wear it!

With every purchase of the Pandora Body Chain you actually receive this printed post card with your new body chain!

Since then I've introduced a number of other Dolorous Jewelry Harness style Body Chains that can be worn in a variety of ways! See the full collection in our online shop at www.DolorousJewelry.com
