Thanks very much Cathy!

Thank you Pattye! I really appreciate your help and feedback!

Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback.

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled with it, and I'm excited to do more stringing!

Thank you!

Well, I've finished! I'm so happy with the end result, and I've discovered a new love for stringing pearls. I used a pink silk, and finished the necklace off with a 14k barrel clasp from a broken bracelet I had on hand. I didn't end up using all of the pearls, as there was too much white for my...

I love it, and only $12.99 on Amazon!

Hello all! For anyone still following along, I've laid out the new design for the necklace! I sorted the pearls into the three color groups of purple, pink, and gold, using the remaining cream and white to ombre the groups into one another. I knew I wanted the one bubblegum pink pearl front and...

I actually love the look of a choker, but this one actually chokes me! I think I'll turn it into a single strand choker that fits with the remaining pearls. I'm looking forward to dismantling it so I can really give them a good clean!

I thought it might be worn like a torsade, and I tried twisting it but it looked so clunky with the graduation as extreme as it is. It also felt too fragile at the ends. Maybe it was what they were going for, but i fear it wasn't successful.

I'm excited to restring them! I just have to fine a suitable clasp to replace this one. Thanks for your help!

Hello all! I have another mystery to solve! I just purchased this necklace from Goodwill for not much money. I loved the graduated design, and high lustre on the pearls. The smallest ones are barely 1mm, and the largest about 3mm x 5mm. The necklace is 18.5" in total length. They are an...
