My Version: My necklace is long leap from the inspiration piece in the magazine. The focal used jump rings as embellishment and here I paired clusters of jump rings to create a "nest" for my owl bead. I also used another cluster of Vintaj etched jumprings as a bail. The leaf is from my favorite leaf-maker, Every Heart Crafts and the necklace is finished off with a simple silk ribbon in a soft earthy green.
The Assignment: Use jumprings as embellishment for your focal piece, the more the merrier!

Here's my entry for the Jump Ring Challenge.
I have discovered that my jewelry skills are VERY rusty! It's been awhile since I actually made something with wirework.
Using really big jumprings:
