Great designs! The one with the enhancer has some very nice pearls in it, and the elephant is very cute. I like the pendants too. You have so many ways to wear them now
Hi Jerin,
I love your necklaces and pendants, especially the left pendant. I ordered the Pearl and Beading book by Henrietta. I will be on my way to stringing and hopefully making pendants like yours.
Is the necklace with the elephant different from the one in the snow with green enhancer?
Hi Hanaleimon,
The difference is only that the elephant opens in front and was not photographed in the snow, lol. And perhaps I should add that I mixed these 2 necklaces with pearls from 2 different strands (I took the larger ones for the "elephant" and the smaller ones for the necklace with the green "drop", who in turn came from one of my oval strands.
So the elephant is the clasp? How does it open? Does the head separate from the body? (And may I ask where you got it?)
LOL. I wasn't sure if they were the same necklace. But now I looked at it closer, the pearl colors are a little different and the green drop has yellow gold, so you wouldn't use that on a necklace with a white clasp. Silly me.
Here is a general question about the pendant: the headpin that you used to cover the bottom drillhole...you threaded it through the pearl and then wrapped it above the top drillhole to connect to the jump ring. Is that how it's done? I don't see the pins being offered in 14K. Do they make them in 14K? What about the pin used by PP (for example to cover bottom drill hole and hooked it to the dangle earrings, are they real gold?
Thanks.
Hanaleimon, you are quite right: Pin through pearl, make the loop, wrap it and put it into the opened enhancer, which then is closed and there it hangs.... If no enhancer, take a jumpring and put that one into the chain... My pins are probably only gold coloured or gold plated because as a private person I can?t shop at Rio Grandes - they want only professionals, lol....
Jerin,
That's not true about Rio Grande. The reason for not being able to register online is that you have to order above $100 from them, and then they send you catalog...or something like that. That's what I was told yesterday. You just have to call them. Since you are in Sweden, maybe just email them and get a customer number. I called them yesterday. The representative stayed online to help me set up my account (she assigned me a customer number first in order to register); and I am on my way. They are sending me the catalogs for free too. I don't have a license. I specifically told the rep. that I am ordering as a hobbyist, not as a sale professional. I hope this helps. Regards.
