Eileen's Necklace

The chain is really pretty – it’s what’s called a “long and short” chain but it’s made with twisted wire, which gives it a very delicate, feminine feel while still being robust enough (and large enough in scale) for the coin pearls, which are a lovely shade of silver with hints of lavender and champagne.  There’s a spring ring clasp in the back and an extender chain, which allows the necklace to be worn as long as 20+ inches.

The necklace is really very simple (as are the earrings), which is perfect for the outfit that the mother of the bride will be wearing, which has some decorative beading that would compete with a more complicated necklace and earring set.

Of course!

So I’ll be making three pairs of earrings in this style but in either mystic topaz, green amethyst or Rose de France amethyst:

I’ll also be making one “Y” necklace for one of the maids and bracelets for the two other maids.  It should be fun because I’m making a new style of bracelet that I’ve never made before!

For her mom I am making a necklace of silvery coin pearls dangling from a very pretty chain with matching earrings.  I think her choice of the silvery coin pearls is an excellent one and they will go beautifully with her minty green ensemble!  I’m very much looking forward to seeing photographs from the wedding when they are ready!
