Freshwater Pearls

My mom recently gave me two freshwater pearl strand necklaces that she no longer wanted. She said I could take them apart and create new pieces with them, yay! One strand of pearls are white, textured, and oval-ish shaped. The other strand is made up of cute and round blueish purple pearls, and they are shiny! I put together a few trial necklaces and bracelets with these pearls, which will be available at the truckit fest on Sunday :)


White freshwater pearl necklace. Love the irregular shapes, the varying sizes, the soft white color.





The blue-ish purple of these pearls is such a fun color. I love the simplicity of a small grouping of mini pearls.


Freshwater pearl bracelet. This is my favorite piece.


The pearls curve nicely around your arm.



I love the natural feel and unique look of freshwater pearls.

you're not selling these, right? since they're from your mom? however, you should definitely buy some similar pearls and sell similar pieces!

That's so nice of her! These turned out really well. Pearls are timeless and classic.. and now they can be fun too with jewelry designers like you re-thinking and re-making them. Simple and gorgeous!
