Pearls!

I was a little naughty yesterday. I promised myself I wouldn't buy any more jewellery supplies until June.

That didn't happen!

I remembered a local shop I had looked at but never been in to, called Bamba Beads.  I visited the shop yesterday and ended up leaving with two bags of freshwater pearls!

These pearls are absolutely beautiful; each has a slightly different shape and the lustre on them is amazing. They also come in a variety of different colours.

I couldn't wait to try them out, and paired the smaller white pearls with some beautiful long antique bronze filigree bead caps I recently picked up.

The bead caps are incredibly delicate, but it allowed me to hand shape them to create a setting for the pearls. Best bit has to be that no adhesives were used, so they maintain a simplicity and movement you wouldn't otherwise have.

I'm going to be experimenting with these pearls over the next week so do check back at the shop here for more items
