I recently made a couple of necklaces and matching earrings. These were things I was lacking in my necklace collection.
Here is a brown necklace I made.
I started the necklace on day on the bus. Let me tell you…I got some strange looks! 🙂
A friend of mine at work has a necklace that I really like. It has a long strand of pearls (which I do not have) and two other silver chains with small pearls on one and larger pearls on the other. I decided that was something I could do. So I found some chain and some pearl-looking beads in various sizes (I actually found a multi-size pack) and went to work.
Here are the white necklaces.
I worked on these when we were in Lutsen last weekend. I wore the one with small beads to work on Monday and I think I want to do a little modifying to it. The small pearl one is REALLY long. I wore it wrapped twice around my neck and it was plenty long. I tried on the one with larger beads and I wrapped it around my neck twice and didn’t like the look of it. So I think I might leave the small bead one the way it is since it is more versatile and make the larger bead one a little shorter. The whole idea was to be able to wear them together and right now that doesn’t look very good.
But that is the fun in making your own stuff. You can modify them to be the way you want.
Here are the earrings I made to go with them.
Enjoy!
