I said I'd make some black square rings. Here's the set I designed with them.
Black Daisy:
I've used thicker black enamelled wire to create split rings - rather than the silver plated ones these are double rings because the wire was thinner and I wanted some extra stability.
I then made little square 'beads' using crochet. Each of the square beads is different, one (the one in the centre in the close-up picture below) even using a weaving technique. The gorgeous flat square Millefiori beads in black, deep yellow and white were added with eye pins and jump rings in black plated metal.
Here's the close-up showing the detail of the crochet and the Millefiori beads.
This is the necklace I made to go with the bracelet:
Again, all four squares are different and everything is held together with black plated findings. I am so pleased with the set. I think it's really special and modern without being sterile, organic and abstract at the same time.

Oh this is lovely Sybille, especially the way you have crocheted each wire bead differently, and the Millefiori beads go with them so well.

These are very unusual and have a feeling of coming from a past era. Love the beads!
