This RoseBall polymer necklace from Italy’s Laura Bocchi is an elegant solution to jewelry construction. She embeds ball chain in polymer as a design element and bakes the entire necklace.
Laura has also used guitar strings to achieve the same effect.
I’ll be teaching a polymer sampler class at our new art center this fall (there’s still room!) and my eye is drawn to smart, simple designs as I think about class projects.

I’ve always loved the idea of embedding and layering of materials into polymer. Laura’s piece is so elegant, but with a touch of industrial. Lovely piece.
Mags ,
Ingenious use of connections and wire in her work. Thanks for sharing it Cynthia! You are the best!

Nice use of mixed media. I would love to know how Laura has tamed the wild guitar strings. I have some and can’t get them to behave.
