Is this too big and heavy to wear? My pearl gauge only works on the smallest pearl ...

Now THESE are WILMA FLINTSTONE pearls!

Are these souffle' pearls or solid nacre? That would make the difference between if they are too heavy to wear.

But I think they would be too heavy for me either way.
 
They are very large "coin" nucleated. I selected them form about 100 kilos of raw material at a Chinese farm.
 
I have some strands of FW pearls in that size. They were heavy just knotted, so I made tin cups out of the strands with some short chain or jewels between each pearl. I still absolutely love large pearls! Very pretty.
 
My very, very large baroque pearls are set singly, as opposed to strung with others.
 
Can't tell by photos alone, I would need to try them on to see how they sit on my chunky neck.

They are large...but I could see using them individually as pendants rather than as a strand. I would use as the centerpiece of a long necklace, maybe with a tassel component. Alternatively, I could also see using them individually as brooches with gemstones and gold elements. Lots of possibilities, but not as a strand. Or as our BWeaves wonderful hamantash.

I too would wear one of the larger ones on its own as a pendant.

I could see maybe one of them strung on a rope necklace of other small pearls, and then worn on the side, like I do my clasps.
 
I'd wear them! But I like enormous jewelry.
 
I could see them as a long tin cup. I think they're too chunky as a strand.
