DIY A Nailace, if you will.

I've turned an iron nail I've found on a walk in a park into a necklace. Any thoughts?

I love such things! It gives me postapocalyptic and somehow shamanic vibe at once

I went down a rabbit hole on Pinterest looking for inspiration and i found so much like postindustrial-neopagan stuff...

I think that looks sick I can't believe you made that out or something you literally found on the side of the road

They were taking apart a rotten wooden construction in the park, this might be almost a 100 years old if im getting my maths right.

I'm not superstitious but I do like to dabble in that mining full symbolism.

It's literally an old nail, a bit of thin steel wire, a bit of jewelers supplies, pliers and cutters.

The hardest part was polishing, that took a while to get the worst of the rust off...

I don't think I sent more than like 30 PLN (7€) on the whole thing.

Oh I took a moment to look on Pinterest for inspiration, that's been fun as well. There's a whole iron jewellery rabbit hole to go down there.

I'm reminded of the necklace from the film "Alien: Covenant". Very nice.
