islamorada necklace

I love the beach, especially when I get to walk in the water and collect shells. When we visited family in Islamorada, Florida a few years ago I was able to collect some very pretty shells which I have been saving. I decided I would like to make a necklace out of them, as they are so iridescent and pale.

I drilled a small hole in the hard end of each shell, then added a silver connecting ring.

                      

I then built the necklace using needle nose pliers and a few materials. I was actually sitting in the car making this while my husband was taking scrap metal to the recyclers. We multi-task around here. :-) I think this is a nice way to enjoy my memories.
