I absolutely LOVE the baroque strand. May I ask the length? I love Tahitians that look like there is a thick gloss poured over them. Maybe just how my eyes see them, but your strand has that amazing rich luster. May I ask the length. I love them.
Also, love strand two!!!
And unfortunately, that necklace had sold out by the time I had spoke with them about the bracelet and necklace match so here’s the second draft pick which I think might be my first draft pick because I really like them too.
Thanks you! I do not have those colors, BWeaves, but I love your ideas! Once I have the pearls in hand, I will experiment with colors. I do have a few grays and greens and bronzes on hand from Pattye. I am intrigued by the dark purple idea.
Excited to have these pearls on the way in. I was searching for round but fell in love with these, so here we are. It has been a couple of years since I knotted pearls. I am thinking bronze, or a gray serafil for thread. I need a bit longer necklace, so I am augmenting the strand with the...
Thank you! its settling in. I was given an offer on them that was not chump change. It gives me an ballpark, so I will make sure I do not lose them. For now I will happily wear them. Kind of glad they would fly under the radar and most folks would not know what they are. I have alerted my family...
Ended up the bead holes were way too big, so went with silk thread. I send them into Mason Kay and heard this morning they are untreated A jade, so I am very excited. I will probably re-knot them again, my work is not great, but it worked.
Just curious if stacking pearls against jade beads is a bad idea? I guess this would also go with layering with metal. Would it be safe if the beads are smooth?
Thanks for the input, @Lagoon Island Pearls. I definitely want them restrung before I send them in. If they are A jade, I don't want the ID picture to have the old string and dark beads. I'll pop back in when I know.
Good to know how to make the holes a little bigger if needed.
Oh perfect! Thank you so much. The seed bead idea is a great one. I also like that idea for using the larger ones to double back. Looking forward to getting the beads here and start stringing. Thanks, for the help, as always Pattye!
