I’ve called them quirky pearls for want of a better name. They’re bead nucleated little shiny mis-shapes which i found in amongst hundreds of strands of really junk pearls – pearls so bad I was surprised they were allowed in the office.<\/p>\n

I pulled about eight strands out of eight large dustbin size bags and then cherry picked the best pearls to make these three longish necklaces from the pearls now that I’m back at the workshop.<\/p>\n

Probably not the best use of my time but I wanted to see if I had anything useful. There’s enough for a couple more necklaces and then that will be it<\/p>\n

There’s one strand of what looks like natural white<\/a> with mixed overtones and patches of metallic lustre ….<\/p>\n

Then two of natural colours pearl<\/a>s, with some fabulous gold patches and drop-ish shapes with lumps and bumps – all sorts of character<\/p>\n

\"quirky<\/a>

Natural colours – mostly golds and pinks<\/p><\/div>\n

\"quirkly<\/a>

slightly lighter tones, still gold and pinks mostly<\/p><\/div>\n

Technically they are pretty poor pearls, but they are idiosyncratic, with colour, lustre and texture and bags of character – get these and you won’t see any more similar.<\/p>\n
