Pearl Necklace

My friend Coxy had a long pearl necklace that belonged to her Grandma, which broke, so she brought it to me to fix and ask that I give it a new modern spin.  This is what I came up with. . .

I used the pearls from her necklace, which were originally strung on a very elborate silver string.  I then incorporated sterling silver chain and other findings, such as silver spacer beads...

This necklacee measures over 72" long and can be worn in many, many different ways. 

I hope she loves it.
