Baroque rosary

You start doing weird things once you decide to really equip your character with all things necessary for that time! In my case I used the newly acquired skills in jewelry-making to produce a rosary made of red crystal beads and golden filigree beads. I happened to buy a couple of cross-featuring jewellery when wearing crosses for no particular reason was en vogue, so I have a decent stock for making pompous baroque stuff. Most of the time required went into bending the wires that carry the beads. Joining them together went so quickly that I decided to make another one from the pre-wired filigree beads and large pearls. Always good to have things to lend out at a roleplay. I really have to switch to making necklaces now, or I'll end up with half a tonne of mere decoration with all the material I bought last week!



Material was bought at various stores and bead shops whenever I found something nice, additional elements (like wire, hooks, tools, more beads) are also available online in case you don't have any craft stores around.
