The Bride’s Mom

The old part of this set is the pearls. They were my youngest daughter’s great aunt’s pearls, and when they were given to me, they were barely holding together.

So I got out my silk string, and my tweezers, and hand knotted them, using the original closure for the necklace. Since I was wearing it for my daughter’s wedding, it had to have matching earrings and bracelet to complete the set.

The bracelet is made of glass pearls and Swarovski crystals on memory wire. The earrings also feature Swarovski Crystals and glass pearls, wrapped in Argentium Silver, and hung from hypoallergenic wire hooks.
