At last, a spare moment to post my City strand pictures! Here are close ups (my first attempt at taking pearl pictures...), as well as a side-by-side shot with my mom's vintage akoyas (check out the amazing gold, pearl, and ruby clasp!!).

On-the-neck shots. The second one is (sleepy-looking) me right now, wearing a t-shirt and jeans...the necklace goes with everything! I have worn my new pearls pretty much every day since I got them

[Nerida]

Wow Elisa they look just oh so beautiful on you. I love them just over jeans and a Tshirt as well - look great with your long dark hair!

As for your Mum's pearls - they really still look lovely, and the clasp!! Stunning!

PS well done with the photos, too! And thanks for posting the pics!

Hi Elisa,

You are stunning in those! What a perfect size and length, so versatile! Thanks for all the photos! Your Mum's pearls are very lovely also.

Pattye
so many pearls, so little time

[GemGeek]

You look stunning in the pearls. It's easier to part with the money when you know you can get two styles in one and they will last a lifetime. Thanks so much for all the beautiful photos!

Here's mine, arrived this morning.
Two City strands, ivory over-tones, custom made to 36" and 38" long so's I can wear them together (I do love multi strands with clips, brooches etc. as shorteners)

[robinmce]

Wow. I love that length. Look wonderful on both of you.
My resistance is melting.. help, help
Just have to hit the the checkout button

[elisa]

Give in to the dark side! Click the button!

Sueki--I am jealous. You have two!

This board is such a pick-me-up, everyone always has such nice things to say.

[Heidi]

I am still circling that button myself...

elisa - I am curous: Do you use a strand shortener when you wear your city strand doubled?

[elisa]

i'm not using a shortener in the first photo, but in the third I have the necklace pulled a bit tighter with the help of a bobby pin...so do i use a shortener? the answer is "sometimes, kind of"
