    Add the clasps at the end of the chain ends. If you’d like you can add more pearls to hang down from the bottom of the pendant. Bring the two thread ends together and burn down flush.
    This vintage looking Pearl Matrix Necklace can be worn casually or more formally. Have fun experimenting with different colors to change the look.
