    Hi l I'll need some help here:) I've purchased the peacock strand. Where can I find 2-5mm 14k solid white gold beads (with small holes maybe 0.5mm as I would not want the knot to pass through)?

    Hi do u think that these 7-8.6mm SS creamy pearls will look good together with Strand1 approx 8.5-10.9(peacock) or Strand2 approx 8.2-10.5(colorful)? I am thinking of a mix necklace, but can't convince myself that the color flows..:)

    Hi all, some photos here. These are the designer beads that the seller has. The overall necklace seems a little chunky to me, what do you think? Would it be better just using the smaller 3-5mm beads and not this 9.5mm designer beads? I have requested to replace the clasp with a similar quality...

    Hi Ramona thanks for the reply! Yes I understand what u are trying to bring across. Just some slight difference in detail could make an expensive strand if pearl looks cheapie:) However, the usual necklace length is 18" hence I have to add on about 7more inches to reach my desired length.. That...

    Hi Cathy thanks for the reply reminder! yes the tarnish issue crossed my mind. In fact, I like the color of the tarnish silver, hence I do not think that it will be a hindrance in this case:)

    I am looking to add some silver beads like this, random placement between the 26 inches necklace. Which strand do you think will look better with these beads? Have you came across any Tahitian pearl mix silver beads? Thanks in advance!
