Long considered less desirable than true pearls, mother-of-pearl is made of the same material “nacre” and can glow as beautifully as its much-prized cousin. In this simply strung piece, two colors of mother-of-pearl shine when paired with gold-filled rounds and a fun vermeil clasp.

Required Materials: Mother of- pearl ovals, spacers, head pins, crimp tubes, hook-and eye clasp, beading wire. See project for complete list.

Tools Needed: Chain-nose pliers, Round-nose pliers, Wire cutters, Crimping pliers

Finished Size: 18 ½” (47 cm)
