As an update to the post I made a few weeks ago about my cousin’s wedding I wanted to add photos of the finished Mother of the Bride jewelry I made this past weekend.
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.
