Vintage Christmas Lights Necklace | Jo Gill

I love a bit of nostalgia at Christmas, these lights are inspired by all those vintage styled animated films and my all time Christmas favourite Polar Express. I have used beautiful foiled leather to recreate the coloured bulbs, with each individual light hand made from quality leather and strung on a neon cord, with a silver clasp.

 

Each piece of leather is cut by hand and meticulously fitted together using my unique leather marquetry technique. To emphasize sustainability, I source recycled black leather from damaged garments that would otherwise have ended up in landfill. Only the finest sections of the leather are chosen and carefully cleaned for repurposing.

 

Once all the leather pieces are assembled, I stitch them together using my trusty companion, 'Gerty', a 1960's Pfaff rolling-foot sewing machine. Finally, I add the finishing touches to bring the piece to life.

 

Each order will be carefully wrapped and posted to you FREE of charge if in the UK. Please contact me for shipping costs anywhere else. If this is a gift and you would also like to add a message please contact me with your details.

 

I would love to see your photos & hear your thoughts.
