Dark blue and white silk necklace handmade by Silky Moons
The necklace is on a long silver chain and has a large beatiful disc, handmade with upcycled silk fabric, in a pattern of blue floral shapes on a soft white background. The silver disc is lasar cut 0.8mm plywood, handpainted and beautifully finished. The necklace is very lightweight, meticulously hand stitched and precisely finished. The style is contemporary, smart, deceptively simple and great for a funky new look. The image of the necklace being worn is by Mike Morrison.
The fabric covered disc is 5.5cm across and the silver disc is 2.5cm.
The plated chain is 55cm, with an adjustment ring to decrease this by 10cm.

We were hugely impressed by designer maker Karolina and the precision and beautiful detail in her jewellery which is entirely handmade and sewn with the tiniest perfect stitching. She uses upcycled silk which has been gently hand washed in eco friendly detergent and ironed before sewing.
THE MAKER:
Karolina Binczyk was born and raised in Poland. After graduating as a interior designer she decided to join her friends and live in Scotland. She began to explore uses for beautiful fabrics, and Silky Moons began. ‘’Sustainability is a priority for me. I had always liked the idea to reuse them, giving old clothes a second chance at life...
Nowadays, jewellery is an integral part of our image.
It adds femininity, self-confidence and attracts eyes.
We pay a lot of attention to ensure that it matches our beauty and clothes,
it often cheers us up and makes us feel better.’’
