After dreaming about owning a 40's Bakelite cherrie necklace for so long and not being able to afford the $400+ price tag for one, I decided to make my own......out of glass. You guys know that I am a glass artist, so each fruit and leaf bead was made by me!
I absolutely love making them and soon branched away from cherries to other berries.
Cherries on a black chain and matching earrings.
Berries on a white chain and matching earrings.
Little strawberries, which I made to match my new handbag:
Isn't it divine?!
Oranges and Lemons to match my Primark Dress:
And Cherries on a red chain.
What do you all think? I sourced some replica bakelite chain and each piece is one of a kind. If anyone is interested, I take custom orders and will be listing them for sale in my ETSY store within the next week.
Unashamed Self plug over!
Ooh I really like the look of the cherries on the red chain. Good job!
