I'm... not sure if I like this. I mean, I like vintage necklaces, and I like pearls, and I like the two combined, but I'm not sure if I like the tangled/bunched up look.
But I agree that there should def be more how-tos

Why not just put them all on at the same time?

I like it, don't LOVE it (I feel so bad messing with vintage pieces!), but it's cool. I'm a jewelry maker, I'll see if I can make something similar without using the pre-made vintage necklaces.
I LOVE the how-to's, though. We need more!

@Sounds0fLaughter@xanga - Yeah, that seems more logical. Then you could rearrange them or put them on separtately, rather than creating just one piece.

I like vintage, I like pearls, I like layered necklaces...but that looks tooo messy. I can't stand it when those get all tangled too. Three strands is more than enough for me.
