Elegant Jewellery

Good morning everyone

This week I have completed a necklace that I have wanted to make for some time - using some lovely box chain and pink shell pearl beads. 

I had a few false starts because I struggled with what medium to use to attach the beads to the chain.  I didn’t want it to be visible but it would need enough strength to get a high tension on the beads, allowing it to sit right against the chain.

In the end I used beading thread, almost the exact colour of the chain and with a dab of glue on the knots at each end, which disappears inside the chain links.

I will be in Port Erin, at St Catharine’s Church Hall next Saturday from 10:30 to 3:30, if you are in the area call in and say Hi.

Don’t forget to let me know what you think and what you are up to.
