[Bailey1856]

I love it!!

 

[JerseyPearl]

Ooooh, that's just FABULOUS!!!

I absolutely agree! You did a wonderful job on this.

 

[la_corsetiere]

Absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the pearls with the tassel - modern and opulent.

 

[funky_pearl]

oh my goodness that its a beautiful rope, i love the tassel too!

 

[Tucs]

Gorgeous!!! And so versatile! Love it with that top. And I kind of want a Tahitian rope now...

 

[lisa c]

Purranha, that is woo-hoo sexy, with the tassel worn low. I'm an old, hetero woman, I don't think I'm supposed to notice that...

Tucs, I'm with you there,

Bweaves, thanks for telling about the cubic zirconia being more brilliant than casual diamonds. Cool.

I love it, the grey tassel addition makes it all the more special.

 

[JerseyPearl]

I am so in love with this style that I am seriously considering restringing my Tahitian rope (from the 2014 PP sale) and adding a pave ball and tassel. This look is so chic, yet so easy to wear, and very very different! You have a good eye, Purr.

 

[Purranha]

Aww thanks again everyone!!! I couldn't be happier with the outcome, too.
JerseyPearl I think you should totally do it! You can always convert it back when you get tired of the tassel look.

This is the tassel I got - the supplier is located in Turkey so shipping takes a bit longer, but I looked far and wide on Etsy and somehow that was the one that fit the spec of what I was looking for. I also got the dusty rose for another project (coral) and was equally happy with it.

I got the crystal disco pave ball at Intergem, but I wanted more so researched Etsy and found what I believe to be the same item at comparable price.

The 16mm ball went really well with the tassels I listed above. I used soft flex to string through the french wires, looped them through the pave ball, tahitian, tassel, and crimped the softflex with crimping beads, cut off the ends, and tucked the crimp beads in the "hood" of the tassel. Uber easy - took me 5 mins!

If any ladies end up making similar rope/tassel projects, please share!!!

Boy I cannot tell you just how marvellous you look in those pearls ! Thats one of the most stunning pieces !! And great finds on those findings!! Good links !! That tassel looks great - nice and full !

 

[Purranha]

Thanks again ladies!!!

Wearing black scoop neck sweater today, so going with a 3-layer look.

 

[Icyjade]

Sexy! Love how it looks on you.

Purranha, your new tassel rope looks fabulous on you! I love all the different ways you can style it. You might also try wrapping the rope around your neck and dropping the tassel end through the loop, like below:

 

[Purranha]

Oooohhhh thank you for the suggestion Kay - didn't think of that one! I tried it and it worked out great! Took the picture in a hurry though as I was rushing in the subway, so turned out pretty fuzzy.


That's a beautiful harvest strand, though the disconnected ends make one unable to wear it in loops!

 

[GemGeek]

Be careful that no one grabs it off your neck! (When I lived in NYC, perps used to snatch gold chains right off the neck.)

Amazing necklace. Samara13: she is really a great designer and a nice person. The man pearl article featured one of the Samara13 men draped in Tahitians. More from them later...

 

[Purranha]

Hi GemGeek! Yes I read that article! Her pieces are stunning, but also expensive!
Just grateful that I can make an "interpretation" piece "inspired" by her work with the wonderful PP strand!

 

[GemGeek]

Your pearls are top notch beauties! This is definitely one of the best things posted this year. Pretty soon, people here will be interpreting your interpretation, LOL! I'd like to see a white South Sea version with a white gold ball and tassel!

 

[MSC]

Really beautiful necklace, love the tassel!

 

[CathyKeshi]

Oooh, I love it when KaySD shows up with those divine inspiration photos! Purranha, I like your tassel version better as it's more versatile, but it looks so fabulous worn this way ... well, every way!!!
