    Default My dabble in pearl jewellery

    Hi all,

    Attaching some pics of my first crotchet pearl necklace. Initially my intent was to make a necklace by combining the crotchet pearl strand with a crotchet strand of Citrine stone chips, but I didn't have enough pearls. So, I went ahead and made a necklace of just the pearls.

    Cheers, SR

    Good idea! You can do a lot with that.

    Did you know?
    There is no grain of sand in a natural pearl!

    SR,

    Very fun pieces! Pearls can have such personality--casual to formal! The crochet makes them more casual, I feel.

    This is totally off topic, but I saw the thing the necklace is hanging on, and I thought it was one of those things jewellers hang necklaces on, the things that are supposed to look like necks you know? And here's the funny thing...

    I then realised that it was just a vase...
