#002 - Billards (Simplicity in complexity)

When I came back to designing, I ordered a lot of chains, like A LOT of chains. Why? Because as the brand began to evolve, I found myself looking over countless materials like when I first started, though this time I traded gemstone for metals. And honestly? There's just too many fun styles out there.

However, one of the few things I happened to pick up along with all the chains, were the billards beads seen here. It was one of those moments of inspiration that I happened upon while scrolling through pages and pages of components.

And just like with how many of the shapes and colors of the gemstone I used to use influenced the final product, so do these beads here. For the chain, I wanted something that felt very art deco, because that's what the lights above the tables at most pool halls remind me of.

And here's the result: colorful clay billard beads, a mix of stainless steel chain, brass components, and finished off with a custom logo bead.

This will probably be one of the loudest "classic" chains I ever make (more on what that means to come), and even though it may not be for everyone, I'm still very happy with how this piece turned out.
