(DIYable) Hairpin Necklace by Mana Bernandes.

By Chrisjob

Brazilian designer Mana Bernandes specializes in making beautiful jewelry from common, inexpensive items, like "Clasp" made from hair ("bobby") pins. While she doesn't offer a how-to, I bet one could figure out the technique from the photo. It reminds me of those regal neckplates you see on ossuaries and paintings from the Ancient Near East...a handmade version would certainly complement your handmade Pharoah costume nicely.

Other designs include:

"Spatial"

"Fan"

"Babuska"

Via.

Fascinating... it did strike me as rather 80s-ish.

Nice hairpin necklace but hardly innovative. I saw the same thing back in the mid 1980s by a jewelry designer named Rachelle Epstein who later became a designer for Tiffanys.

 

Her version featured gold-plated hair pins.
