Wow! Those are incredible!

I love the second one! I think the graduation would be more visible while wearing the strand.

Thanks for all the kind words! If anyone does it PLEASE post pictures!

Some more thoughts on working with the rope. When most people do something like a 6-loop choker look, they do something like this: 6 continuous loops around the neck. Of course, this doesn't fit over your head as is so you must loop it into place and then readjust the slack so that the loops...

Ok all, I don't really have the setup to do a video but I took some snapshots of the process for #9 aka the "nautical braid". The pictures are not pretty but I hope they are helpful for anyone else who wants to try this style! First arrange your rope in 3 loops like so. Create a ribbon loop...

Beautiful!! I want a chunky multicolor rope really badly...

Thank you so much everyone! I will look into taking some tutorial photos of the braided and twisted styles. They are both basic braids (like braiding hair), with a slight difference in how I do them for the tight braid or the "nautical" braid. Almost all the styles are fastened with a ribbon in...

I picked up this 100-inch AAA freshwater 5.5-6mm rope from the PP summer sale! I had wanted my own rope since I bought one for my fiancee, and was eyeing an AAA rope for myself.... I was shocked to see this one in the sale at an AMAZING price. I had to snap it up. It arrived today, I started...

We were out enjoying the sunshine yesterday and I took some pictures of the rope in different lighting situations- she was wearing it as a braided collar tied with some ribbon in the back. (Pearl styling by me :D)

Here are the long awaited neck shots! We tried several different styles but I failed to get a picture of the way she has been wearing it most, which is "messy choker"- wrapped around the neck 6 times but not lined up like in the photo. The first photos are on her, the last few are me...

The small pearls are 4-5mm and the large are 7.5-8mm and the rope is 87". I am finally going to give it to her tomorrow! I am taking her out to a nice dinner. She knows it's coming haha, since she is still waiting for her birthday present :)

I want my next pearl purchase to be a pair of everyday earrings for myself, probably 7.5-8mm Freshadama studs. Now I am stuck trying to decide between white and lavender. White seems the most obvious, classic option, but I don't actually wear that much white- mostly dark colors, so I worry they...

Thanks for the kind words all! I haven't given it to her yet... planning a nice dinner out to present them. They are her birthday present and she knows about them and gave input on them, just doesn't know they're here yet. (We knew it wouldn't be in time for her birthday because Hisano had to...

Hi all! My fiancee has always liked pearls and has a couple of strands from her mother and grandmother. I decided to get her pearls for her last birthday after she was attracted to the Tiffany Ziegfeld Collection rope (http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?sku=29402523)). She doesn't like...
