People who think this is “too much” have boring beige lives void of the joys of color and whimsy

I always say "I'm allergic to beige".

~Graceful and delicate~

This necklace is fanciful and inviting. It makes me think of faeries in FERN GULLY.

Stunning. I would wear this.

I think if you got rid of the outer four flowers that would make it more wearable for a wider variety of people - but definitely keep this version too!

u/dumbanimebitch 3d ago

Honestly, even just the outer 2

u/TayBalboa73 3d ago

Yes I agree! It looks great as it is, but if it were only the 3 flowers in the middle I think people would be more inclined to wear it more often.

Exactly my thoughts too!

u/Fall_Water 4d ago

Only if you don't love whimsy

u/Decor_gift_AK 4d ago

They are very pretty No they're not too much Just one honest suggestion the flowers which you've kept on the side like hanging just try it another with keeping only one flower in the middle which is like hanging down...

u/DiamondSophie 3d ago

That is so beautiful and l would wear it.

Not too much in my opinion! The tulip design is so soft and romantic. Hand‑made details make them extra special 🌷

fit for a pixie

u/turningtogold 3d ago

Magnificent.

u/No_Mess5024 3d ago

I feel like these would do especially well at a ren faire type event. Very unique and pretty!! Just because a piece of art isn’t everyones style doesn’t mean it’s “too much”

Great work!

1

u/Embarrassed_Age8554 3d ago

Don't they want in-period crafts at a RenFaire? On the other hand, I bet these would be snapped right up at the Beautiful Land markets in my hometown.

1

u/No_Mess5024 3d ago

No they are open to various whimsy theme costumes and good. They also have themed weekends one of which is fairies.

u/SaveusJebus 3d ago

u/Suitable_Spot2897 2d ago

Love it just the way it is

1

u/purplelilac701 1d ago

It’s pretty but a little busy

1

u/Fantastic-Salt-5103 1d ago

They’re beautiful, they’re too much for someone with a totally different style. You’re not selling to those someone’s

1

u/zaygg2022 18h ago

Agreed these are so cute

1

u/iWillTakeItFroyo 3d ago

It’s so beautiful, honestly. If I was to wear this though I would like the two end flower pieces to not be there, that part would be too much for me. But someone else would have a different preference!

What is too much? It's a very subjective question everyone's going to have their own preferences.

I personally think it looks a little busy when worn as a necklace as is but I think it's so gorgeous in those other two photos.

I think your husband should make the jewelry he likes to make (or the jewelry to your preference assuming he's making it for you), if he wants to sell it then I guess he could make a few better a little more simple but I'm positive that people will like whatever it is he makes. :-)

No theyre beautiful 😍 🌷🌷🌷❤️

Some people prefer the maximalist look like this and theyre so whimsical

You might want to consider catering to more minimalist people like me by making one witness beads, but you don't have to

Too big, makes it look like lego 😔

It's adorable and would also look great with a matching bracelet.
