Kilt Pin - 1. Make a large clock face charm from precious metal clay in the same way as the charm bracelet, but omit the winder. Using a cocktail stick, make a hole at the top for hanging and three holes at the bottom. Fire the piece, then patinate with Liver of Sulphur and polish to a mirror finish as before.

2. Cut a small length of fine chain and attach to the central hole at the bottom of the clock face with a jump ring. Add large and small key charms to the other end with another jump ring. Fasten heart and pearl charms either side using jump rings as before. Attach a few links of thicker belcher chain to the middle link on a kilt pin and secure to the clock charm, then add enamelled charms either side.
Make it yours - For an alternative look, thread the large watch motif onto a piece of wide organza ribbon for an eye-catching cuff.
