Okay I wasn't going to post these pieces, but just too relevant to the question here.

These are 10mm (wide) drop baroque Tahitians. I have knotted them on moss green power pro - the length of the rope is about 47 inches, the bracelet about 7.5 inches. I have used 14K white gold ball clasps. In order to make my rope a little different, and to disguise the two clasps that will be 7.5 inches apart when the pieces are joined, I have randomly placed 14K white gold beads (6mm) around the necklace. I just love it! I wore it yesterday, and kept playing with it all day.

I have done the same with the mixed SS and Tahitian strands I posted under "What will I do with these" in Show me your Pearls some time ago. I did that rope with 14K ball clasp (yellow) and random yellow gold beads. Same effect - looks fantastic, and adds some versatility. Sadly, I used the moss green on these too, and I don't like it - going to do it again!!
