An Item A Day - Day 17

I have had a bag of old, odd pearls around for years.  Every once in a while I'd need one for a project.  I'd dig past this one rejecting it time after time.  I always thought I'd never use it because it was so big.  Never say never.  It worked up into one of the nicest pendants yet!  

Here it is:


The focal piece for this pendant was saved from an old necklace. Silver toned filigree adds charm while two Ruby Red Swarovski crystals add sparkle.

Pendant measures approximately 5/8" x 1 5/8" or 15 x 40 mm.

Comes with an 18" leather cord necklace. Can easily be removed to place on your favorite chain.

WOW Sandy! This is soooo elegant! I love pearls, too. I have 1 - yes 1 - pearl necklace that my ex-hubby gave me when we started dating back in 1967 And I have pearl earrings. THIS will definitely go on my wish list!!!! I have a birthday coming in May..... hmmmmm!!!

Absolutely beautiful! That is how it goes...some of my best projects also end up being things I never thought of doing or using before!

Sandy, I've got to chime in. I'm liking the simple elegance of your design. I bet it's ten times more stylish than the jewelry you salvaged the pearl from!
