Light and dark cranberry freshwater pearls are strung together with fire-polished Czech crystal rondelles. The centerpiece is a beautiful faceted fire-polished crystal teardrop set in sterling silver. This lovely necklace is about 19" long and has about a one inch extender to adjust to various styles of necklines.

Somehow or other I ended up with an over-abundance of gemstone chips. Then there was the incredible display of freshwater pearls I couldn't pass up... So last year (yes, I'm properly ashamed of myself) I sorted out all the gemstone chips and paired them up with matching pearls and the coordinating gemstone beads and put each set into a plastic bag so I'd have everything I needed all in one place. I actually had the intention (delusion?) of working on them while I was out of town for a series of meetings. I wanted to be certain I had what I would need. Yeah, right. I finally took off 5 days at Christmas (take off 5, get an additional 5 "free"--what a deal!) and in the post holiday peace decided I really needed to DO something with my little "project bags" I'd been hauling around for almost a year. So here they are, and I most sincerely hope you will enjoy wearing them. I know I sincerely enjoyed making them!
