Peach Stick and Cognac Faceted Pearl and Sterling Silver Necklace

I don't think I've ever blogged about this beautiful necklace I made for last year's University City Arts League Sale.



It pairs natural peach stick and potato pearls with faceted pearls in a rich cognac hue for a dainty, elegant look.


A few of these photos are new, but most are old. I remember trying to shoot this piece before last year's sale at about 2 am. I just snapped a few more shots in preparation for posting this at Etsy.

The necklace is finished with peach potato pearls and a sterling silver lobsterclaw clasp.
The necklace sold early in the sale, as I recall, and I think it commanded the highest price of any piece I've ever made.
Unfortunately, someone else bought the matching earrings before the necklace sold. And I can't blame the buyer--I only charged $8 for them, and they're sterling silver and real pearls.



In person, these pearls glow. They have a beautiful, soft, golden luster.

The 3 shapes of pearl add texture to the necklace.

And now, I've talked myself into wishing I'd kept enough materials to make myself one, too!


Price: $50.
