The last few years I have been fascinated by the costume jewelry of Miriam Haskel after seeing an exhibit of some of her vintage pieces in a deals museum collection. These pieces have become prizes of collectors, her jewelry was worn by Joan Crawford, Lucille Ball, Gloria Vanderbilt and the Duchess of Windsor. Joan Crawford was rumored to have owned a set of every ‘Haskel' produced. This is my ode to Miriam Haskel, the Acorn Pendant Necklace.
This piece will have different looks by how you suspend your ‘acorns' from the bead circles. You can go with longer or shorter links or work a combination of links. There are enough beads into the kit for any of the variations.
Stitches used: circular peyote and herringbone. This is considered an intermediate level beading project.
The first picture represents the color of the kit. Other pictures show other colors and dangle option lengths.
