Materials:

• Sterling Silver Box clasp
  

 

 

Necklace:

This necklace is designed to focus only on the seed pearls, they are so tiny, maybe the size of a grain of sand. They are crocheted with fused nylon crystal beading cord three around. The clasp is a Sterling Silver Box clasp, the kind that you pinch to open and is secure.

 

Care and cleaning:

Do not use jewelry cleansers or cleaners on pearl jewelry, use warm water and a mild soap on a soft cloth, do not soak pearls in water. Over time natural body oils will be absorbed by the pearls and actually enhance the pearl colors. Lay flat to dry overnight. You can use standard jeweler’s polishing cloth on the sterling silver.

About Bead Crochet:

Seed bead crochet is labor intensive, dating back to the early 1820’s. Each tiny bead is touched 3 times to build the spiral rope.

First touch: All beads are strung onto the cord in a predetermined pattern.

Second touch: Crochet the first row of beads, adding one bead with each stitch and determines the diameter of the rope.

Third touch: The subsequent rows are crocheted into each stitch of the previous row adding one new bead while flipping the previous bead to the side.

 

 

Disclaimer:

This item is made in the USA, not all the materials used are NOT made in the USA (If you know of a US source for seed beads please message me as I have not been able to find them). Although this jewelry did not originate on Kauai, my heart returns to the Garden Island with fond memories.
