Recently I spotted a handmade zipper necklace on pinterest that caught my eye. It was made solely from vintage coloured zipper heads and jump rings. I liked it and decided to use the idea as the basis for my Anthropologie style necklace. Anthropologie is great at creating quirky, interesting and sometimes expensive jewellery. I had a box full of old grey zippers at my disposal, a double chain, some vintage buttons and a discarded tarnished heart.

So I started with this box full of old grey zippers.

And turned them into this.
