I bought a nice, round South Sea pearl from Jeremy (pearlparadise.com) and a couple of lovely, bumpy South Sea keishi pearls from Care Ehret (druzydesigns on eBay). Then a friend of mine who makes jewelry was able to pull it together with some of my findings and brown crystals to make this necklace. Fun! Sorry the pictures aren't clearer, but you get the idea...

I'm glad that you shared your creation. Not only does it fit the man-pearls mode perfectly, but it looks wonderful on you. You're so handsome!

Tres chic! Very nice- I like the 3 varying pearls in the center, and the brown tube crystals fit very nicely into the piece!

Lol- Man Mode.

Thanks so much. It was fun and I had too many leather-cord-on-pearl necklaces.

You wear it wonderfully.
Men in white pearls, more unusual, very interesting so.
Baroque + round pearl is a great idea !
