Pearl Multistrand Necklace
About this design:
I just got back from a weekend away in Sydney, where my daughter and I attended the Bead & Gem Show.
I bought these gorgeous freshwater pearls and new instantly that I wanted to mix them up and make a multistrand necklace.
There are some czech rondelles floating about in there too and a sterling silver clasp.
Components:
fresh water pearls, sterling silver, czech rondellesAdditional Images:
