Mix icy pink tones, shimmering bright whites and contemporary silvers to create a piece that merges vintage and modern all in one. Surely fit for any queen, agreed?

I was inspired to make this piece based off my Strawberries and Cream and Talia necklaces, where the method of madness is tangling - braiding, rather - strands of pearls and chain to give the look of a captured "mess".

Adding starburst beaded flower accents gives energy and sparkle, something that could be taken and emphasized upon in another creation - foreshadowing?

Thanks to Elle Hong Kong for the bright backdrop and my $6 flea market orchids. Most of the materials/beads I used for this necklace were from Cousin Corporation, which you can grab at any major craft retailer.
