How would you DIY this?

My mom's a little obsessed over this necklace- I'd love to get it for her for her bday or Christmas, but I can't, the issue being that it is almost $600.

So, 3 strands of oblong pearls and a flowery broach plus some silver rhinestoned beads. 

Any suggestions as to where to begin shopping for supplies?

Re: How would you DIY this?

  • Check ebay, etsy or an antique mall for the brooch.  I bet she would love it even more knowing you made it!  :)
  • If you want fake pearls you could try JoAnn's- they are having a "coupon commotion" this week so there are tons of coupons out there. They let you use multiples (if they have different bar codes). I went last night and spent $25 and saved $23. :)

    I second that site.  Hobby Lobby and Michael's have a good selection.  Google bead stores in your area though too.  We have a local one that's AWESOME!

  • I can't find the clasp- if you watch the Amazon video, the clasp is really odd- like a triangle, but with 3 strands on each side.  Any ideas on where to get something like that?

  • Big fan of etsy.com but if you were looking to make it, I also second Joann's, Michael's or Hobby Lobby, depending on your area.  But you'd also be surprised at what you find in the craft section at Wal-Mart!

  • You can buy real pearls for cheap on this site. Orientalpearls.net  I've bought from them many, many times. The pearls are great! I beaded my wedding dress in real pearls. :)
