I've been looking at these shells for a while now, wanting to make something out of them. I've been holding off until I got around to buying copper links. I finally got around to buying those and constructing the necklace, only to realize I then needed copper headpins. Oops!
So this baby has been a work in progress for a couple of days. I finally finished it the other day. =)
It fits loosely around a neck, allowing for a diversity of necks to wear the necklace. Because they are shells, the necklace is also very light.
I also included accent beads in both the necklace and earrings. There are turquoise-coloured oval beads lined with copper at the center of each earring and the necklace.
All in all, it's a very nautical styled piece. I was inspired bymy childhood (and adulthood) of finding shells on the river in Drumheller!
Enjoy!
