Cameo + Pearls = My Newest DIY Obsession

Another quickie post.  I found a bunch of cameo pendants this past weekend and went a little crazy making different pearl combo (cause you know I can't help myself with the pearls!) necklaces.  Here are a few:

Periwinkle and Cream Cameos with Cream Pearl and Bronze Chain
(buy here in my Etsy store)

Black and White Cameo + Lavender Pearls + Amethyst Ribbon
(Buy here in Etsy store and customize your colors!)

This one I think I need to re-work a little.  I think I need shorter strands of pearls so that the ribbon can be highlighted a little more.

What are your current obsessions?  :)

    Very pretty. Just one question though, are these with metal on the back? I'm allergic to metal (which is why I love your ribbons and pearls).

    Kileen - Thanks! Can't wait to see how you wear your cameo!

    Michelle - Thank you for the sweet words!! :)

    Lisa - Aww, you are too kind! Thank you doll!

    Ping - Thanks so much! I was really loving the cameo pendants and thought maybe they'd go nicely with pearls :)

    Mimi - Thanks for stopping by and saying such nice things :)

    Sunshine - Thank you so much! Looking forward to checking out your blog after this :)

    Jen - Hi Jen! Thank you, I do too! :)

    Aubrey - You are so funny! I never even noticed her nose but I will from now on LOL.

    Cee - You are so sweet - thank you!!

    Aki - Hi! The first one uses a chain (but can be made with ribbon instead) and the other two feature ribbon backs. The pendants and the 2 connectors where the pearls connect are metal though :(

    Annie - You always bring such a smile to my face - you are so super sweet!

    I love the necklace!! I've been trying to find cameo necklaces here in town, but they're not so nice. If I don't see anymore within the next few weeks, I may just have to get yours from Etsy! :)
