At my girls’ primary school, the annual Trivia night is coming up in a few weeks, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to make something for the silent auction that accompanies it. I wanted to make a necklace and after browsing through my magazines and Pinterest boards for inspiration, decided on a multistranded longer necklace.
Last week I went to the Craft and Quilt Fair and picked up a strand of textured freshwater pearls—they have a unique knobbly texture. I combined them with some peacock coloured Czech druk beads interspersed along some peanut shaped brass chain from Vintaj, and a strand of tiny peanut-shaped seed beads in a matte peacock combination. Then I joined them to a Vintaj flower on each side, and added more chain around the back. No clasp as it’s quite a long necklace, especially on little me.
I hope it does its part in raising money for the school!

I’ll let you know how it goes …
Pretty colors! I like how you combined everything. Peacock pearls are one of my favorite pearls. Good luck with the auction!
Thanks Tracy! I like pearls too.
Lovely necklace! Love anything “peacock”. Can’t wait for the Craft and Quilt Fair to come to our part of Oz.
Oh, you have to wait ages for the Fair don’t you! There are some good sellers at it though.
