This necklace is wire wrapped, not knotted, but has a sweet story. The pendant is a piece of oyster shell my CA son found beachcombing and asked me to put it on a necklace for his and Sandy's 10th anniversary coming up this month. Luckily I had a pinch bail that fit into a natural hole in the shell. So I added 10 pearls that pick up the ivory and teal blue tones of the shell. The shell does have some sheen, and we both hand polished it a bit, too. Have thought of perhaps waxing it, but have not tried for fear of ruining it. What do you think?
I find I am enjoying the challenge of custom order and restyling beads much more than I thought I would.
