After seeing pictures of the necklace, which consisted of crystal beads which started in a larger size at the front then reduced in size towards the end of the necklace, I decided to match the beads with Swarovski pearls. For the bracelet I used the same size crystals, and for the earrings some of the larger vintage crystals with a Swarovski pearl in between.
When the necklace arrived it was even more beautiful than the pictures I'd seen and I couldn't wait to get to work, it felt kind of strange cutting the necklace up and I could just imagine all the parties it had been to a couple of generations ago, but it was so nice to be giving it a new life and that it would be there with her Granddaughter on such a special day of her life
So here it is, a truly vintage and special necklace in it's new guise as a bridal bracelet and earrings, I hope these get passed on down the generations too
