Valerian Necklace

Valerian is meant to help you sleep. This one keeps people up at night.

Two weights of woven chain hang in a double swag from a pair of shackle links, each with a lone spike swinging off the side like a warning. The top strand is fine, the bottom one heavy enough to feel on the walk home. Industrial without the hi-vis, somewhere between a warehouse noise gig and a Victorian watch chain that went badly off the rails. Bring a spare collarbone.

Handmade chainmaille necklace by an independent maker. Two-strand layered design, a finer upper chain and a heavier lower chain, joined by shackle-style links with hanging spikes. Silver tone. One size, see images for fit. Being handmade, small variations between pieces are normal.
