diy - vintage pearls, skulls and crystals


I've been bubbling over with jewelry DIY ideas for the last couple of months. But with an internship, board exams, and work, I've barely had any time to get crafty. No more excuses though.

Using vintage pearls, aurora borealis beads, pewter skull beads strewn onto large safety pins, and all topped off with a Swarovski aurora borealis crystal, I crafted the below necklace. Pearls are nice classics, but classics are meant to be destroyed and extended upon. So, I haphazardly threw in some safety pins and skulls, and now I have a fun twisted, careless, yet classy necklace to wear to my next fancy outing. Can't wait.

The necklace is amazing!!!!
Adore the half tints below. I'd buy them too, they're a better shape for my face than the originals they're conceived upon.
