Murano Necklaces Series - Part 1

Part 1 because right now, I was only able to take photos of one... the one I made for me. Part 2 will probably have the photos of all the others, all lumped into one post :)

"All the others" because my mom tasked me with making 13 necklaces with the Murano pendants she bought. And out of the 15 (13 for her, and 2 for me because I found out that I still had 2 unused Murano pendants in my stash), I only have 3 finished. And I need to finish everything by the first week of December. 

Plenty of time.

*deep breaths*

*I will not panic*

* I have plenty of TIME*

*yeah....*

The one above, that's mine. I love how simple it is with the black cord tied around the donut-shaped glass pendant. It's currently my favorite necklace and I've worn it like 4 times this week since I finished it last Saturday.

I usually have a hard time working with Murano pendants because they tend to be statement pieces because of their size and colors and I find myself not knowing how to "set" them properly without the finished necklace looking too overwhelming. For the Murano series I'm doing for my mom, I decided I will use just the pendant and the cord, no other embellishment. 

By the way, I just realized that Part 2 will probably be after Christmas. My mom is giving those necklaces as gifts and I don't want to spoil the surprise for any of the recipients who might accidentally stumble onto my blog.

Anyway, I hope you all have a happy weekend!
