Pearls and a diamond bow

[MakingTheGrade]

I bought this vintage diamond bow necklace and removed the bow from the gold chain to put on my
Little pearl choker. Not sure if it’s too short but I’m going to wear it a bit and see. I want to stack it so can’t let it be too long. I love the overall look though!

And no thread is complete without shale

Gorgeous mix of pearls and diamonds. Looks very chic and elegant. You do so well in designing your pearl pieces.

So beautiful with your baby akoyas, @MakingTheGrade! What a find.

Was the bow a brooch ?
How did you attach it to the strand ?

No it was attached to a gold chain.
I just threaded the pearl thread through the ears of the pendant

This is sooo pretty!!! What a great idea.

Absolutely love this look! The bow is perfection with the baby pearls <3

Thanks. I’ve always loved the look of vintage bows but finding one I 1)Liked 2)could afford and 3)could find a way to wear was challenging. I even hemmed and hawed over this bow but glad I finally pulled the trigger. I was worried it might be too big but I love the size.

I ended up lengthening it by like half and inch and now it’s perfect. Woot

Any longer and I won’t be able to as easily layer. Luckily this length is super comfy and exactly the look I want.

Nice! It sits at a great length.

Haha. I can’t seem to stop fiddling

Yes, but GOOD bows are very compelling and make beautiful jewellery. Your fiddling paid of big time. And the cat!

Beautiful!!

I know. I looked at modern new diamond bows but they were too stiff or too round or too something.

This is gorgeous on you and I love it! You can't beat a vintage bow!

How does the bow look layered with my favourite pendent ?

This could be your signature piece! I have never seen such a pretty look......the length is perfect on you & so ideal for layering!!

I agree! It’s small enough to layer but still has a touch of bling.

The only pearl necklace it doesn’t layer with is my bubble GSS so I’m actually thinking about making that one longer lol

It's adorable and it also immediately struck me the same way. It really is just signature.

Cannabilzed my bracelet so that these now stack.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Remade the cannabalized bracelet with Circles that we’re in a dbty chain I never wore.
