It winds up being a rather heavy piece as I prefer glass to plastic materials but I like the end result. As you can tell, I made this piece right before DD was born :)
I'm also experimenting with less traditional pearl necklaces like these ladder necklaces:
And finally, I've been wanting to create a chevron necklace. I think this one is "getting there" but still needs some work:
In other DIY jewelry news, I'm working on some bracelets but I'll save those for a later post :)
What type of jewelry are you most drawn to? Chains? Pendants? Beads? A mix?
Beautiful necklace! I also prefer glass pearl to plastic one. Your necklace definitely adds a bit of drama to any plain outfit.
ReplyDeletePearls are classic and never go out of style, but lately I've been really drawn to chains! Love the chevron pattern on the necklace, never seen anything quite like that before :)
ReplyDeleteGreat DIY :) I'm still thinking about that bag you made and need to make time to make one :) Possibly a weekend project :) I love all sorts of jewellery! I love bracelets!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!! I love pearls as well but currently I am more drawn to pendant necklaces
ReplyDeleteThose ladder necklaces are so cool!! I love these creations
ReplyDeleteThey are all AMAZING, I am especially attracted to the first one!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the experimental pieces!! A chevron + pearl necklace is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented! Love the necklaces!
ReplyDeleteYou know I love pearls and this is just so pretty!!! I have a 3 strand pearl from LOFT and love it but I really like the length of yours. The ladder one is so unique and it's like having a layered necklace in one! Love!
ReplyDeleteLately, I've been into beads but my jewelry drawer has a mix. For me, it depends on what I'm wearing.
ReplyDeleteoh, the last one!!! love it, its so unique. i wish i could do that!

ReplyDeleteIve never seen a ladder pearl necklace before (I've seen very elaborate creations from beads though). I'm intrigued! I also love the multi-strand necklace. It looks very elegant. How are the kiddos doing? I hope you're getting enough sleep.

oooh LOOOOVE! I'm always drawn to pearls hence my previous blog name LOL! But I'm being more drawn to the softness and classic look of pearls mixed with harder metals but not when they're are too overdone if that makes sense!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for all your kind words! Reading them just warms my heart :)
