Close up of the necklace
Here you see the whole necklace.
I had a few problems at first. The stringing wire was not strong enough so it fell apart. Once I switched to heavier wire it worked great. My sister sat and strung the beads again and was the major influence of how lovely it came out. In order for the pin to go over the pearls I was going to connect the strands to the back of the pin using small pearls under the pin so it wasn't to bulky. My sister wanted the necklace to be interchangable with different pins. I had thought of that design but didn't know how to get the pin on over the pearls. My sister suggested trying to use the small pearls and then pin over them. That worked! So now my niece can get different looks to the necklace by using other pins. After I got it together my niece had me adjust the length three times and it was perfect!
You may have noticed that the brides flowers and handmade paper flowers. That is another story!
