Instant Heirloom
Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

For: Women

Style: Victorian / Steampunk, Formal / Bridal, Traditional, Retro / Vintage, Whimsical, Romantic, Holiday, Classic, Ethnic, Eco-Friendly


Materials

Antique Cameo, Rose-gold Fresh Water Coin Pearls, Swarovski Crystals, Delica & Seed Beads

What was your inspiration?

Inspired by my Mom, who passed last year, I wanted to design and create an instant heirloom piece. I have now begun a jewelry collection for my three granddaughters. So this is their first piece and another will be added for birthday's and Christmas each year

What are you most proud of?

I believe I succeeded in my aim to design an instant heirloom piece. It looks both classic and traditional in design and has a beautiful neutral coloring.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't be afraid of Free-form or bead-weaving projects!!! I began after reading "Sensational Bead Embroidery" by my Idol Sherry Serafini. It inspired me and provided all the technical advice needed.
