Pearls May Be A Girl's Best Friend, but Diamonds Are Her Lover

In her spare time, my mom designs jewelry. Drop dead gorgeous jewelry. We go out to stores and we look at gorgeous necklaces, which she recreates with her own special twist. Here are my favorites.Twisted teal pearls- Teal, grey and various shades of blue pearls in varying sizes swirled together. Best part? Near the clasp are emerald and black crystals. It's stunning. It's also the first necklace my mother ever made.

Rainbow crystal necklace- We went looking for a necklace to match a black dress I had. The first one we found that we both loved was $300 (and this was before the economy screwed us over) we designed this identical copy, and it sparkles like no other.

Pearl ribbon necklace- Grey pearls and blue ribbon. Way better than a standard white pearls and black ribbon. It looks like an accordion. It's super elegant, and it looks really simple. I wore it with a plain black dress and some pearl earrings, it looked gorgeous.

Also, I took these photos myself! I got quite a few good photographs.
