i can't believe i finally sat down and finished this necklace. for years it's been sitting in my jewelry box. i've been afraid to wear it because it's looked like it's been on the verge of breaking and sending 500+ puka shells every where. i am not really sure why i didn't take a before picture of the necklace, but you can use your imagination. i re-strung all the shells and then added the chain in the back to lengthen the necklace. i think my great grandmother would be proud.
Love it! So happy to see the end result of our shell collecting convos.
ReplyDeletethese shells were actually collected by my dad when he was a kid living in hawaii. he and my great grandmother strung them together originally, i just took it apart, switched it up, and put it back together.
ReplyDeletemary, i do however have a collection going for you for your vases!
