I recently re-watched all six parts of the fantastic BBC dramatisation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Along the way I captured screenshots of the lovely jewellery and put them in my Picasa Album.

I thought it would be fun to “re-invent” some of the pieces, or if you like, use them as inspiration.

So here is Part II, the star of which is Jane Bennet.

The gleefully awful Mrs Bennet with Lizzie and Jane

I noticed she was wearing a dainty string of pearls with a pendant, possibly a pearl drop. I liked the idea of a drop, but I also wanted to add some crystals in the mix so I used a small Swarovski flat briolette in silver shade to give it sparkle and add a little more interest, without going crazy with a large focus pendant. And once I had started with the silver shade crystals I kept going…interspersing 5301 bicones, take a look:

Although I didn’t actually notice Jane wearing earrings on screen, I made a little pair of earrings to go with the necklace anyway.
