If you use a 49 strand wire, it should be supple enough for the peaks and valleys, however, the key is to get the tension just right on the stones. Too tightly strung and they will maintain a stiff U (if they don't chip and/or crack). I suggest that you experiment with how much slack to use to...

I would definitely do this on wire. Keep in mind that it does come in different diameters from .10mm to ginormous. You want to make sure the crimps you use are appropriate for the wire size. Most wires have a notation on which crimps will work. I think Bella or Gempacked also sells wire in...

Uh oh.....:):rolleyes:

Love how you've photographed the mis matched pair...and of course your collection is quite impressive~

Lovely pearls everyone! This thread is always a joy to visit.

Gemandpearllover, what lovely strands!

Are these from Hisano's new bridal collection (of course not just for brides!)? They are lovely

In my opinion, spending $163 USD on very poor quality is $163 that cannot be saved to purchase something far nicer in the future. I would return the pair for a refund.

Love all the linen and pearls! You ladies are so inspiring in your styling of both your pearls and your outfits.

Gorgeous collection! And my favorite Miranda look.

Absolutely gorgeous! Catching up on this thread...also sending along best wishes that your son is doing well!

Of course I agree with each number on this list...#4 is #1 in my book!

Elisabeth Strack gave a wonderful lecture during AGTA titled "Freshwater Pearls of the World"...it was fascinating.

Beautiful pearls as always! The overtones on your goldens are outstanding.

lovely collection you have!

Charlotta, your pearls are on a perpetual play date! I love how you switch things up.

Beautiful looks ladies! I love to see how everyone styles their pearls...so creative.

Pattye is on the mark! Keep in mind, if the pearls are under 5mm, you may not want many knots on the necklace as they can begin to take away from the look. You can knot every 3 or 5 pearls or even just the last few on each of the ends. Experiment and see which look you prefer. Another thing to...

May I ask, is one of the pearls the third from the end of a strand? If so, I would suspect that glue has been used. If you have access to acetone, I would give it a try.
