| HI:
Ah, ropes of pearls are quite "au current", I recently saw two strands in these lengths--one pink and one white. Could have had both! Notwithstanding it is a recurrent style; as my sister had had a 60 inch strand of Akoya's for 25 years......and of course there is Coco Chanel's style for reference.....
Moreover, the strands I saw did not have a clasp of any sort; however its utility is entirely debatable.
The one drawback I see with increasing lengths of this type of pearls is their weight--they were rather "heavy".
cheers--Sharon |
