Weddings and Pearls

Aren't these pearls gorgeous? I have been asked to design a neck piece for the mother of the groom to wear to her son's wedding. We met at the Bead Gallery in Ann Arbor and she slipped into the dress she'll be wearing at the wedding. The gorgeous dress suited her perfectly and we chose these pearls to compliment the dress and highlight her features.

I'm also working on pearl pendants to be bridesmaids gifts for another wedding. This wedding project will also include gifts for the mothers and sisters.

Pearls, the oldest know gem, have been associated with weddings since 1000BC. It is said that pearls symbolize purity and innocence. They certainly are a beautiful tradition.

That is what I'm working on this weekend.

Hope you have a beautiful weekend. Relax and enjoy.
