Pearly Whites and Blacks

Pearls often play a huge part ro Chanel's looks. Coco Chanel was often pictured wearing layers of pearls.

"Chanel loved creating jewelry with artificial pearls. In her younger years pearls had been one of the most precious stones, and the privilege of aristocracy. In her designs Coco Chanel made her costume jewelry pearls emphatically bigger and in other colors than natural. Her pearl jewelry consisting of rows of pearls arranged in chokers, brooches and pendants, became a classics. " http://www.famous-women-and-beauty.com/coco-chanel-jewelry.html

 So this inspired my pearl necklace DIY. I do not want a plain pearl necklace, so I found a "centre-piece" and worked from there. As you can see, I stay close to my colour theme of black and white.

Threading them all together ... and voila! My necklace is done. Does it remind you of Chanel? :)
