Wedding Jewelry

Charlie's jewelry-making skills are really coming along very nicely.  He has made a number of truly elegant necklace/earring sets for my mother, and his name is getting out there.  He now does not only beading, but chainmaille, fine silver chains, and pearl silk knotting.  Recently he was commissioned to make a necklace/earring/bracelet set for a wedding.  Pearls are really hard to photograph for some reason, so thanks to my mom for getting some decent shots of this set before he had to hand it all over to the bride (who was thrilled!)  Here's the results:
