I love the reversible jewels : my first reversible jewel   was a  bracelet. It was in 2007 : http://ptitscailloux.canalblog.com/archives/2007/11/22/6927706.html The pebbles also come back often in my creations. These necklaces are reversible and really comfortable to wear.

About a year ago, I showed you earrings and brooches with reversible parts : They just had to be turned. It’s time to show a little more! The secret: threaded rods in polymer clay. Currently I’m preparing a workshop project on this jewelry.
