OK, I know I wrote about our new large hole pearls last week, but I’m obsessed so I’m writing about them again! Based on this week’s orders, you like them too! Not surprisingly, the large hole white pearls are selling twice as fast as the gray peacock pearls – and who can argue with white pearls? However, I’d like to sing the praises of the gray peacock pearls. They are subtle and deep. Every pearl is unique – some with hints of cranberry, others with a bronzy shimmer – and every one is a treasure. I made the bracelet below by stringing 20 large holed peacock pearls onto chocolate deer hide lace, and then wrapped the lace around my wrist and tied a square knot.
Luscious large hole peacock pearls look urban and edgy strung on deer hide leather.
This bracelet gets it pop from unexpected contrasts: between “sweet” pearls and tough leather; the glistening luster of the pearls against the absorbing deep chocolate brown; and the smooth surface of the pearls with the supple, rugged texture of the leather. How do you incorporate contrasting elements into your jewelry designs?
