danika_ni_sidheI already posted this on Facebook but I made the wire piece and all the wrapped links for an anniversary Mother's necklace. It's made with bleached white freshwater pearls and undyed aquamarine with sterling silver. I did not make the earring frames but I know how to now.
I made this while watching NCIS. I cut my hand on the wire. *holds it out to be kissed and made better...*
Because I like to share information, most white pearls are bleached to achieve a uniform look. But, as they're an all-natural product, you can use clothing dye to dye pearls whatever color you want! It won't be colorfast unless you seal the pearls; if you decide you don't like that color, they can be bleached again and redyed. I haven't played with this yet but I'm thinking about it.
