    Red face Not a friendly design.....

    This one was a real bi#^& to make !! I had to redo it twice and half !! Those strands did not want to place themselves as I wanted them to !!

    Oooooooo, so dramatic! Love it Also feel your pain on getting multi-stranders to "play nicely with each other".

    Beautiful! I love the spacings - so much more dynamic than when pearls are evenly spaced ....

    Personally I like the slight overlap of the strands..if that's what you are going to change I would never, ever have the patience to string all those tiny little pearls! Well done, nice design!

    That's gorgeous. getting random placement is hard, never mind the strands laying well. HM The Queen has one three strand necklace with the shortest strand needing a pearl. Every time she wears it I itch to add one

    Overlap is fine.. On one side I see three bigger pearls aligned by the clasp not nice! And the shortest strand is too short.

    If the shortest strand is a pearl too short then the whole thing is a Diamond Jubilee Homage to Her Majesty!

    Actualy, I have a rather posh wedding to attend. I have an of one shoulder dress. I wanted something delicate but rich to complement it. I'll wear it with tassel on the back. What do you think?

    I LOVE it, I love the crossing over strands and the balance of itty-bitty pearls with the larger!
