Making your own beautiful pearl jewelry is fun and inexpensive! You can buy loose pearls or strands of round or irregular pearls in every color of the rainbow and string and knot them yourself.

You can alternate colors to mix and match jewelry pieces with your outfits. Use graduated sizes of pearls for a striking effect, or string rows of matched pearls for a bracelet or choker.

Make long strands with the varied keshi pearls to loop and loop again around your neck. Try square pearls for a flat chain that will stand out in a crowd. Experiment with irregular pearls, mixing them with crystal beads or polished, drilled stones for a unique piece of your own creation.

Pearls are ageless, timeless - the stuff of legends, unsurpassed in their elegance. They are dressy enough for the most formal occasions, yet so simple they are not out of place with a sweater and jeans.

Don't be timid - start making your own pearl jewelry today!
