Making some things

[innerkitten]

I do a little silversmithing, but haven't been able to make it into the studio ( because of a recent surgery ) so I'm beading!

First I bought some very colorful drops from The Pearl House, and made them into a bracelet. I don't like the clasp though so I'm going to re do it. I think and maybe add another pearl so I can even out the black beads more.

Then I bought some silvery pearls from Wen Pearls on Etsy. The large one I made into a pendant and the small ones will be made into a necklace. I have never knotted pearls before so this should be interesting.

Both are gorgeous.
I like the silver pendant.

I recently started stringing. Highly recommend Beaders secret you can buy from Pattye from her etsy store. I restrung my silver tahitians with the grey thread and it looks lovely.

Can't wait to see your final product.

Gorgeous pearls! Which of Wen's lots are the silver pearls from?

Thank you both. I just bought some beaders secret from her ( in gray)! I heard about it on a post here. I have saved knotting for the last project because it looks confusing. But I know I can figure it out. May take a few tries!

The large silvery pearl from from their single 11-12 mm tahitians. They have a lot of different pearls. Some strange, some pretty. The strand from from her too. She has some unstrung smaller strands. I think they are 8.1 to 10.4 ? They are just called silver gray tahitian pearl, green. I would say these are silver body with pink and teal highlights overtones ( not green). Half strand is $75. Whole is $145. She wound up not giving me all of them the first time and had to re send some.

I made one more thing and forgot to post it. Will do that soon.

The all look like very pretty Tahitians. I love the overtones of the silver ones (I have a strand of silver Tahitians from PP with very similar colours running through them and they are beautiful IRL).

I can't wait to see the finished products either.
