Yes, this is also clear. RE Te Poe O Te Kuki Airani, the 100% nacre composition of the natural pearls lessens this worry, but would appreciate comments regarding the appropriateness of knotting on the second stringing. It would change the design, I suppose**. But we would not be averse to a longer version of the same necklace, as an extender has been contemplated on occasion for more frontal presence.

**I suppose we would then need to consider changing the name to Knotty Te Poe O Te Kuki Airani ??!!
