I've been working a bit lately on some jewelry lately inspired by a Pearl Demi-Parure (picture to the left). This is part of the The Alfred Whital Stern Collection of Lincolniana at the Library of Congress. I'm mostly focused on the Necklace for right now
. I've also focused on another Tiffany Pearl Necklace that was made around the same time (picture to the right).
The picture with the green background on the left is my first attempt was to emulate the brooch in the right-hand picture. Since it's a test it's made from glass instead of real pearls. I will have to use smaller pearls for the 3-tier oval...but overall I'm happy with the first try. Overall the brooch ended up being being about 40 x 30 mm.
Learning from the mistakes of 1.0 I've recently completed several smaller 2.0 pieces (see picture to the right). The background is the printed picture of the first image used in today's blog post. I just ordered a bunch of Lacy Brass Bezel findings and some gorgeous flower connectors for version 3.0. I plan to order the Swarovski Crystal Pearls I need for this project next week.
