DIY: Chains & Pearls
Filed in: DIY, Designers, Fashion, Jewelry
Many of you probably have a chunky chain necklace lying around and many of you are probably also starting to get sick of them. Dsquared gave me an idea for how to update them a little bit. Simply mix one or two chain necklaces with a few pearl necklaces by braiding the pearls into the chains. Just like that you have a new necklace with a completely different look. I like the idea of the hard chains mixed with the soft pearls.
If you don’t have chain necklaces this size I have often worn chains and pearls at the same time. It gives the same look just in a different way.

I’ve worn my chains with my pearls before but I’ve never thought of entwining them! Interesting idea, it looks really cool in the runway picture.

My friend asked me to do the same with my pearl necklace which is a multi strand necklace but I dunno how!What do you think,Agathe?

You may have to take it apart… I can’t think of any smart way of doing it without having to ruin it. It’s probably easy to put back together though when you’re tired of this look…

i tried this. my gold chain doesn’t have big holes, so i wound the pearls around and not through the gold. it’s so preety
