Anniversary soutache set

Some time ago my friend's husband asked me to make something special for his wife, for their wedding anniversary. It was up to me what to make though... and it didn't make it easier at all. I couldn't figure out what the best present would be and so I was wondering about it for almost a month. Luckily, just a few days before their anniversary I suddenly realized that I have heard Aga once mentioning some soutache jewelry that she found beautiful. My experience with soutache however is only slightly bigger than none, but I decided to give it a try.

After one long day, I came up with a set like this:

soutache jewelry



soutache earrings


The set was made with black and metallic gold soutache cords, metal beads and beautiful Swarovski coated rivolis. The pendant is 6 cm (2,36") long and the earrings measure 2,5 x 3,5 cm (1 x 1.37").

Happy anniversary, Agnieszka & Paweł! :)

  2. No nie, "trochę mniejsze niż żadne"?, Justynko ty jesteś mistrzynią we wszystkim co robisz, żadne zadanie nie jest ci straszne nawet jak zmierzasz się z nim po raz trzeci albo pierwszy. To się talent nazywa! A komplecik piękny, prosty ale z duszą, no i ten zawijas w wisiorku - jak wąż kuszący w raju:)

  10. Hello Justyna,
    wonderful to read you again. Soutache is not my technic but you made a great piece to look at it twice. The way of interloops is so lovely and I love the colours. (May i still hope on a pattern of your Pendant of the last posting?)
    Great wishes

    1. Hello Beate,
      Thank you :)
      And I'm afraid I won't write any instruction for the last pendant, it was nothing but an improvisation and I probably wouldn't be able to recreate it...
