True! Pearls are on the larger side, so perhaps that was a factor also?

Cathy, yes, I think that's correct. I watched a lot of QVC back in the days, though none of my Honora pearls had that particular clasp. I do give Honora credit for educating so many about freshwater pearls and making us feel we could buy pearl jewelry for ourselves.

Wow, that's a lot of thread!! Checking google for Fujix thread found the company. You'll want to do your own tests, as all polyester thread isn't created equal. See if you can break it, note any stretch. Also I'd untwist a strand and look at it under a loupe. Let us know how the test strands...

The H on the clasp and H 925 actually represent Honora Pearls. You'll find lots of info about this company online. As Pearl Dreams mentioned, you have solid nacre pearls are they are well matched and lovely! Another plus is this pinch clasp is much easier to work compared to a fish hook clasp.

Congratulations, Anthony! You look great in your HBD necklace!

What's your guestimate, Jeremy? Mine guess - 30 inches. Fun look at his website!!

This will be good!!

Keshi pearls can sometimes have more porous or even hollow spaces inside, so perhaps not as heavy as one might expect. That brooch, though, will definitely add some weight! Funny, did anyone see a length given? Truly amazing necklace!

Hmm, I'm leaning toward imitation. Something about the reflection seems too consistent. Is the clasp 14k?

Yes, a super Team and Congratulations to all!

You might want to contact KariPearls.com as she does sell natural pearls. We aren't able to advise values.

My vote goes to Akoya, a very pretty strand! I've just recently used scrimps on Pearl Dreams recommendation. They make an attractive and secure finish. Some designs really must be strung on wire.

Yes! Beautiful pearls and Coral is very complimentary! Well done on the knotting, CatMom!

Pearl Dream's detailed tutorial is the one I recommend all the time!!

Ageofsolarium, what a big relief if the traveling appraiser works out! I didn't know anyone did such a thing. Thank you for the lovely compliment ~ it's fun playing around with the pearl/thread color combos!

I'm sorry to hear your Mother passed. These earrings are bead nucleated freshwater with metallic shine, a more current purchase. Pearls are very popular now and the pretty necklaces don't show stretched thread or much wear at all. The large dark pearls could be removed from the wire and...

Here are some of the knotting videos listed under this "Lowly Beaders' Club" section: One I found with no talking! One from our member, Lloyd One from our dear Caitlin (RIP)

And I'm especially lusting for the bottom strand!! lol

Gosh, I take it back that Baby pink is too light! Gorgeous, both strands, Pearl Dreams!!
