I have had a new design idea in mind ever since I bought a string of beautiful A grade black shell pearls on one of my recent buying outings. The sheen and lustre of the pearls is outstanding, and the colour is unusual, I have never seen pure black ones like these.
This is the resulting bracelet, and I love it!
The concave patterned silver tube beads used between the pearls give the bracelet a modern feel – providing a fresh twist on what is often perceived as a classic, or even old-fashioned, style of jewellery.
So pearl jewellery doesn’t just have to be for granny – it can still be chic and funky!
(This is bracelet will be listing soon in Big Skies Jewellery’s Etsy shop for only $28)
Stunning bracelet Tracy – the pearls must have been bought during one of our recent expeditions! I still haven’t got to use some of the great stuff I bought! Sigh! Too much work, too little time for beading!
Thanks Bev – the pearls were from our trip to Bead Wave (they were almost in the fishing tackle section!). Less work, more beading – if only!
Looks beautiful. Pearls are definitely chic and funky. I love them.
Thank you. It was a tough choice as to whether this was going in my shop or straight into my jewellery box….. 🙂
I can see why.
love love the color mix and the shiny look to the beads.
Thank you – it’s rapidly become a personal favourite! 🙂
