Mary Kay's only design requests:
1. Make the necklace longer and adjustable;
2. Create a removable pendant (if possible); and
3. Make the earring with her preferred leverback earwires.
Everything else she left up to me.
I quickly discovered that two of the vintage Swarovski Crystals in original the design were no longer available but that did not hinder the design process. Since the original bracelet was a two-strand, it provided more than enough crystals to work with. I added more sterling silver, a few fresh new soft blue light sapphire Swarovski Crystals and the removable trigger clasp for the pendant on the necklace.
This custom project did pose a few challenges but after thinking about it long enough and then just sitting down at the studio table, it all came together in literally one night. I may have restrung the necklace three or more times, but the end result is a stunning 3-pc. modern vintage Swarovski Crystal jewelry set -vintage redux!!
The original pieces... very much vintage, but....DRAB!!!

With only having seen a picture so far of the set, Mary Kay's response was this:
"OMG, the set is absolutely gorgeous!!!"

Much lovelier than the original! I think putting more emphasis on the front including the pendant gives it polished look.
