Behind the Scenes of Making a Pearl Tassel
Meet a TalisWOMAN Tassel with a secret!
Jewelry was always a reflection of what is of meaning and value to our ancient ancestors and I believe in restoring that connection!
I created the TalisWOMEN series, including these tassels, as an attainable way to remind us of our inner power, who we are, and what we are made of.
Ever see how a gemstone tassel is made?
In this video, watch me create a gemstone tassel with pearls for a tassel necklace - and this one has a secret strand!
Customizable TalisWOMAN tassels can be made with responsibly sourced gemstones of your choice with sterling silver or gold in small, medium, and large sizes.
Whether you’re seeking a pearl tassel to elevate your style or a gemstone layering necklace to manifest your intentions, let’s connect about your bespoke jewelry vision!
