How it was done

Technique: Flat-back pearls, set individually
In the chair: 3 h 00

Forty-two pearls, placed one at a time with a wax tool and set in gel rather than glue so nothing lifts. They follow the cuticle curve rather than sitting in a straight line, which is the difference between jewelry and something stuck on. She wore them for a wedding and then for three more weeks.
