Hello fellow pearl lovers! I've rarely been so excited about a piece, never mind a re-worked piece.
As some of you know, I bought a 26" 9 to 9.5 mm hanadama strand a couple of years ago. I love that the nacre is .7 mm. However, the length just didn't look right with my clothing and my very short stature (5'2").
When I was at PP during the Ruckus I was moaning (yet again) about how I never wear my gorgeous hanadama necklace. I asked Chenai what she thought I should do and she said shorten it to a length I like and use the remaining pearls to make a tin cup. Brilliant! The necklace is 17" and the tin cup is 24", I think. I added earrings to the mix and this is what was made -- I am SO excited to wear these babies. Finally!!!
