I come across a lot of vintage jewelry - but some of it just isn't usable.  These pearls are absolutely beautiful and I couldn't see just letting them go to waste.  I designed a figurative 'Christmas tree' with a pink bow on top. I think it is very classy looking and definitely unique.  And, it is a perfect non-traditional way to enjoy these beautiful faux pearls.  The pearls came from different necklaces so they are of varying sizes - but they all are the same creamy pinkish color.  Please remember that these are vintage faux pearls and though I chose ones that look very nice there is the possibility of flaking.
