Vintage Pearl Set

I went yard sale-ing this past week-end, and bought a quart baggie full of vintage earring and pins. Some of them are pretty ugly, but some will make some fabulous jewelry when disassembled.

I took apart these 2 earrings that didn't match...


to create this bracelet and earring set.



Angel's necklace


I used the spiral rope chain stitch for this necklace, but reduced both the core and spiral by one bead to make it a little smaller.

Mary's necklace

My friend Mary had purchased the pendant pictured here many years ago, but hand not done anything with it. She commissioned the spiral rope chain to put it on, and also earrings to match. She wants a bracelet, now, too!
