Wave Painted Shell Seaside Ocean Lovers Necklace

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:54:38 -0400

$25.00
I went a bit nuts with the ocean theme on this. The center piece shell is pained with Polished Pigments (see below) on one side and the other side was left natural (it's kind of sunset looking, with the orange bleeding up into the purple'y sky) for two looks in one necklace. It is roughly 18 inches long, give or take a millimeter or two. The model is my Sister Lorilei.

Products in the necklace: The center piece was made from a closed shell, I painted a wave using blue green Polished Pigments (which are “ground colors mixed with sparkling mica pigments, offering a similar texture to mini 'pearls'” according to Fire Mountain Gems, and to my surprise they were right on, I was very pleased with the sparkle and texture) - The “sand” colored spacer beads are 8mm(ish) River Stone – The pearls are fresh water (“colorfast” dyed according to FMG) – The two round “seaweed” beads holding the shell on each side are Prehnite – The clasp is silver plated brass. The silk thread is silk “Griffin” brand bead cord (my personal fav!) in the thickest size they make it (looks kinda like rope! See!? More theme! Shoot me now).

Feel free to convo me to speak of shipping options, custom options, or just to say “Howdy!”

This bid is for two 40” pieces of jewelry, custom made.
