Elizabeth's Bling *
About this design:
A gift for my lovely Aunt. She loves pearls, so I had so much fun putting it together. I chose the memory wire for ease of putting on. And a small dangly earring. Earrings are mismatched in pics. The pair given are on the right. They are a bit longer with multiple jump rings.
Components:
Swavorski cream colored pearls and rondelles. Not sure of other pearl color since its from stash. Hill Tribe ear wire. Jump rings from LB.Additional Images:

Julie Shane says:Peggy, This is gorgeous! The colors are so soft and soothing. She’s *love* it!
I love pearls and crystals. They are so classy. And they are now THE thing with jeans. And I agree with you, they are fun to work with.

Peggy3 says:Awe. Thank you. My aunt wore the set last night at her ’80th’ birthday party. The set matched perfectly with her brocade top. She is sharp as a tack and the smartest person I know.
