I have 2 strands of black pearls. One is Tahitian from Elaine and the other is dyed FW baroque from Jeremy. They both have the same length and I want to wear them together as a double strand necklace from time to time. The only way I can think of is to shorten one of the strands using a shortener.

This shortener may not work on larger round pearls, but it works with drop-shaped baroque pearls. I used it on 9mm baroque pearls today and it is perfect.
