i'm really excited (and a little nervous) to share my creation with you guys! i have never made any jewelry before in my life but i found an awesome picture on a wedding blog of this necklace a bride made and i got inspired.... i went to this bead boutique nearby where they have free studio time, and the designers helped me pick out the beads i'd need to create the look i wanted- an "organized chaos" statement necklace- i used swarovski crystals, sterling silver, freshwater pearls, coin pearls, and moon stone to create this necklace. my wedding dress is very simple-i'll attach a pic here as well (it hasn't been altered in this pic, so it is a little bit big). thanks for checking it out!!

That is a gorgeous necklace - what did you string it with? How does it flow?

Brooke11 · Oct 17th, 2009, 02:34 AM

wow, you made that??? that's incredible!! I go to a craft fair every year (Sugarloaf) and stuff like that sells for a lot of $$. I think your necklace is gorgeous and so are you in your beautiful wedding gown! That necklace is going to look so lovely on you during your wedding. I love it

you are so talented!
