A little rehab for an 80s pearl bracelet

[multichrome]

I got this bracelet on eBay a few weeks ago. Then I learned to knot and redid it. Alas you can’t see my knots, because the gold rondelle spacers cover them! I’m happy with how it turned out. It was kinda grubby when I got it, — the string was dirty, fraying, and loose, the knots showing, and it needed a nice bath. I have an eBay pic and then my refurb. I believe they are freshwaters—they are real. Thanks for looking!

P.S. I can’t get rid of bottom pic—the other bracelet is another from the same era that I just got. I’ll redo it soon.

eBay, pre-bath. Seller’s pic.



Made over. Exact same style, but clean thread (Beader’s Secret Ivory #30) and fresh gimp. Ready to go out on the town.
