Okay, so how slow am I..just now seeing this!? I LOVE that necklace Josh. It doesn't look un-manly one bit. (and whoa nellie, you're nice good lookin' as all get-out! ) The hemp is great with the tan, though I'm wondering A. Does it get dirty? B. Are you able to slide the pearl off and switch out the hemp?

I definitely want one. Finding hemp and a clasp means walking down the hallway to my office, but are we able to get a bigger tahitian with a big ol' hole from one of yall so we can make it ourself?

Aw gee Danachit, (blushing while looking down and kicking a rock) thanks for the kind words.
The hemp stays nice and white if you are like me and you shower and soap your neck every day. If you don't, yes, it does get discolored and actually wears much faster. Bodily oils are surprisingly corrosive. The hemp necklace that Tahitimana makes is not designed to be changed out as there are knots on both sides of the pearl. The knots keep it from sliding and keep it centered. On the back there is a little M.O.P. logo that is double drilled and does slide around. I often like to wear mine with the M.O.P. bead in front and pearl in back.
I'm sure it won't be hard to find someone on this board (if you haven't already) that will gladly sell you a large single. Can you organize a picture when you have it all sorted out?
