I love both chain versions, with all wood links and with the metal joining mechanisms in between. Can't wait to see more!

I like the onion rings when they are joined together like a gyroscope. That way you get all different views of the circles at once not just the wood from one angle and the painted sides from the other.

Thanks guys, the three layer onion rings neckpiece is interesting because when it's on the body you only see the pale wooden rings and the colour is a mysterious highlight, but when it's off the body it spins around and becomes more colourful.

Anna, I love love love these. And you know what would be great - an image of the Matryoshka on the tag in one piece would be great (always thinking retail!) Love Ramona xx
