With a recommendation from Hanaleimom about the 60 inch rope from The Pearl Outlet, (March Sale) I made my first purchase from them. Here are the pictures. There was a small glitch with my order, but soon corrected by customer service. I am very pleased with the quality of the rope and especially the price. What an exceptional value and the color is very nice with tones of green and rose. I can easily triple the strand, double it, or make one long rope and knot it. Can you tell I've been experimenting in front of the mirror?

Hi Jody,

it does look to have fine luster as well as overtone! Now You have to get up at least an hour earlier every time to wear it so you can decide (in front of the mirror) in what way you are arranging it, .

Let us know what other people plus your own family thinks ot this lovely rope!

Hi Jody,

That is just luscious! I have several ropes, and really love them, some were purchased and some I made. Somehow they can seem a bit more casual to me. I agree with Jerin, allow a little more pearl play time in front of the mirror!

Pattye
so many pearls, so little time

Very nice. And the luster does look great. A long rope style necklace like yours is yet another item to put on my wish list.

Beautiful rope of glowing pearls. Enjoy them!
Pattye I agree that they seem more casual. I have a black one from the pearl outlet that I wear alot, can throw it on with almost anything. The main decision is how to wear it! Now I'm thinking I might need a white one!

Due to Hanaleimom and Jody's pictures and comments about TPO white rope, I ordered one too. I already have TPO's black rope which I just adore. Now I'm waiting for the multi-colored ropes to go on sale. You guys are a bad influence on my pearl habit.

You guys make me laugh - but you are right - we are sort of bad influence on each other - because as soon as I think I have everything I possibly want - one of you comes along with a great idea for something new - and then the same old story begins of drooling, buying, showing and so on....

Ok here is another from TPO's March sale. The baroque akoyas. Great luster, silver, blue pink, green and some aqua. I was surprised how round they are for baroques. Very pretty. ....and a few still left!!
They are for my mom.
