Vintage Pearl Collars Transformed for Today

Somewhere during the last year I know I saw a project similar to this one.

A beautiful vintage pearl 1950's collar had been turned around to place the

Closure at the back......A gorgeous pendant or brooch had been attached,

And the results were stunning.

It has been a long week here in Texas with ice and now 5 inches of snow.

Because I have retail, I hold true to the "rule" that I am closed when the schools are closed......

And they have been closed all week.

I have dug through boxes at home, found things I had forgotten about, and things

I thought I had already sold.

These collars were some of that stash and it triggered my memory of having seen something done with these beautiful pieces.

These are my efforts.......

I found that adding a small chain in the back would also extend the size and make

Them adjustable for different size necks.

I had such wonderful fun matching the perfect pendant/brooch to the collar.

Not to be worn with everything, but beautiful with the right neckline.....

I know I need to get back to the Shoppe, and I will,

But this week has been divine.

I haven't had a vacation in years,

And this has been heaven.

Thanks for stopping by today...

I love it when you come.

Stay warm!
