Someone recently asked me what my favorite piece of jewelry was that I made this year, and I knew the answer instantly. It’s this simple silver necklace with a clean, understated tie clasp—rustic in spirit but elevated in design. And yes, it’s currently available in my shop.

I love how the ends connect—so minimal, yet visually interesting. The length adjusts effortlessly without relying on multiple clasps, and the look feels unique for a metal chain. Details like these are what make a design stand out and draw people in.

To keep growing creatively, I’m planning to explore other materials in my jewelry work. Who knows, maybe I’ll find another crossover idea that sparks new inspiration for my metal pieces.

What about you? What’s your favorite piece of jewelry you made or purchased this year?
