My Grandma Helen recently gave me these beautiful crystals. They had belonged to her Aunt Emy, who would be my Great Great Aunt Emy. They needed to be restrung but before I have them restrung professionally, I thought I would try something fun with them first.
A while back I had seen a tutorial out in the craft blog land on how to make a bead ribbon necklace. Of course I can't track down the exact tutorial that inspired me, but here are a few similar ones on other blogs:Sweet Floweret Blog

This was easy and cheap, a couple of bucks on the black velvet ribbon and a clasp. I'm planning on wearing them to a formal event we have coming up in June to match a black dress I scored for $50 at TJMaxx. Thanks Grandma!
