My little sister is getting married in April and I wanted to make her something special for her big day. I remembered that pearls are traditional for brides, so started there.
I didn't want to just make a plain pearl necklace, so I decided to add a few swarovski crystals. I used some new and some vintage crystals in the necklace. I also used silk thread for the necklace and a stunning sterling silver clasp. The clasp is a toggle and hoop which is made to look like a floral bouquet when fastened.
This was my 1st time doing pearl knotting, and using silk thread. I was thoroughly delighted with my efforts. I took the finished necklace into a vintage jewellery shop near my house. I showed my work to the owner, who was stunned with my efforts. She told me it did not look like the work of a 1st timer :)
*proud*
Now to see if my picky little sister approves. Fingers crossed.
