The deadline for our pearl challenge is midnight tomorrow (Oct. 14)!
The challenge first appeared in our August newsletter, but here are the key details if you have some last minute inspiration.
Pearls will be published in April of 2010 and will include
the winners of our first special issue reader design contest. Design a necklace,
bracelet, or earrings project using primarily pearls. We’re looking for designs that
range from casual and office styles to fancy evening jewelry. Use any kind or
combination of pearls that appeals to you. Designs can be classic or have a
more modern edge — wherever your creativity takes you.
Winning projects will appear in the
Pearls special issue and the winning
designers will be awarded great prizes, including Crystallized - Swarovski
Elements. Send a JPEG of your piece to
editor@beadstylemag.com by Oct. 14, 2009. The JPEG should show the entire piece.
If there are small details you’d like us to see, send us a separate close-up
shot. Winners will be asked to loan us the actual piece of jewelry to
photograph.
