| Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Yes, Knotty - sadly I am starting to see pearls in a whole new light. If I am a lowly beader, then I am the lowest of the low right now! The pearls come from Indonesia, so are a mix of South Seas and Tahitians.
I love the idea of double bracelets - not sure about elastic - do you knot it between pearls still? Also not sure of what type of elastic to use. I have ridiculously small wrists, and quite like bracelets to be slightly "free" - so am not sure if maybe 2 clasped bracelets would be better. Or 1 double strand - anyone know of some lovely clasp that would suit?
I will do the 45 - 50 inch rope, I think. When I was playing with these strands I was wearing one doubled, then the other long outside the collar of the shirt I was wearing - looked fantastic!
Will keep you all posted. Happy for any more ideas, suggestions etc. Thanks again! |
