Title: Charms
Post by: Capt Gabriela Fullpepper on April 22, 2009, 07:55:19 PM
So was wondering if anyone knew were to find letter charms like the Anne Boleyn B except in a D. I am thinking of making my own as I'd rather not buy it, but make it myself. It must have the three loops on the bottem so I can attach the three elongated pearls and one on top so I can string pearls on it.

Any idea?

I have no idea where you could buy something like that but I bet you could fashion one yourself from polymer clay.

Just a few days back I was browing through some forums (not ours)...  possibly something for The Tudors on Showtime or some such... and someone mentioned the necklace.  I don't recall if she said she ended up getting the entire necklace or found a supplier who carries the individual pieces and different letters.

I'll have to see if I can find it again.

All I want is the charm not the complete necklace. I had both of those links and neither offer just the charm. Thanks for trying though

Lady D,

On ebay is a jello/clay alphabet mold for $4.99.  Here is the link.

Maybe you could get that clay that was mentioned, use the D to cut out the letter, then you could insert the holders for the pearls into it before it dries.

Hope this helps!

Have you tried a craft store like Michael's or AC Moore in the jewelry making section?
