sea glass and faux pearls necklace



wired sea glass with vintage faux pearls
This was the first: my attempt to wire the sea glass from my childhood beach and make it portable.  These little chunks of washed glass were gathered on my ‘final’ trip back ‘home’ to sell our London maisonette and embark on Canadian residency and property ownership.
It seemed significant – we were cutting ties and making a new life. Suddenly, after four years of playing at emigration, our relocation to
Canada was permanent.
Homesickness kicked in.

What a lovely piece, with such a lovely story. Love the childhood memories laced in with the pearls.

thanks Tracey - it's still a fave of mine (though i can't wear it right now as it's still on display!)
