Here is a closer look at a necklace that went down the catwalk during the “Goddesses and Gladiators” runway show in the United Kingdom.
The necklace was designed by Fernando DaSilva exclusively for the Craft & Hobby Stitch International Show.

Nappa Leather Fabulousness!
Fernando DaSilva created this fabulous necklace to demonstrate the numerous techniques you can use with our nappa leather. It is knotted, cut, riveted and gathered into this one of a kind wearable. When I asked him to describe the necklace he said:
“Edgy, vibrant, over the top, sexy! The juxtapositions are unorthodox and I used dozens of rivets to design the necklace. And, yellow is on trend!”
Choosing the yellow from the collection was a dare indeed!
We do have quite a few options. Now I want to use the yellow as well!
A few of the other components Fernando featured in his necklace.
