ooo Pattye, so lovely! What size are in the strand?

Pattye-thanks--I'm going to troll around the beader's threads looking for clasps for the future. pearlescence-I'd love to see photos of your 10 foot rope! Nerida-yeah, I'm going to do the basic matte ball for this first rope. I'm still waiting for the pearls to arrive. I'm hoping the...

Those are purrty Valeria. Can't pick a favorite either. I'll take one of each!:D I thought I was done for awhile too!*holds hammer precariously over ceramic pig* I didn't know Garry worked in pearls. His site is slick.:cool:

That's what I was thinking. I'll probably want the option to triple it, so I think I'll just do the basic ball clasp. Thanks!

Nerida--beautiful! and a great idea with those bead spacers. I love it with the Tahitians. The mixed SS/Tahitian strand is gorgeous! I think since mine will be white fw, I'll want the clasp to show. I want to find a stand out clasp/clasps or just make it minimal with the white gold ball...

Great poll! This is good--I'd like to hear what people think. This will be my first rope-never used shorteners or anything of the kind. The idea of being able to twist sounds interesting. Provides another option. Thanks Mervione. I was thinking about possibly splitting it up. hmmmm

They should be here in a day or so--can't wait! They're from PP. :)

Hallo, I ordered 3 strands(16 inches) of 7.5mm gem fw to make a rope. Any ideas on what type of clasp? I was thinking just the plain matte white gold ball, but now I'm wondering if I should do something a little different. Where can I find unique clasps? Anyone have design ideas? I...

Wow! Beautiful city strands ladies! Elisa--it's perfectly lovely on you.:) Sueki--I love the double strand. Looks so beautiful on you! Perfect choice!

I'm guessing that's the size, and I'm guessing, at that quality, it would be a goodly amount.:p I have a modestly sized strand coming my way--very excited about this--my first strand of Tahitians! Will post when it arrives!

I like it very much. What are the measurements of that pearl?

m4816K-beautiful pieces. I love the look of high karat yellow gold. If only it looked good on my skin--wish it did! Sueki--beautiful bracelet! and necklace!

Did not see the movie--had to find an image! I am Tahitian baroque obsessed right now. Wish the photo was not cut off at the bottom. Nerida, I've never seen faux baroques--how cool! Fauxroques.:)

OH that rope! Looks gorgeous on you! I love the photos of Lina Cavalieri--love pearls worn this way. I'm big on that period--literature, art. Would love to see more photos of how you wear your rope. I've been wanting to make a rope, and I'm unsure about what size pearl and length. __________

Wow-that's a stunning strand. Looks fantastic on you--love that clasp!

ooo I love your necklace! Beautiful!

Inge, I was just poking around the forum, and I saw the thread that had the link to your pearl photos. Beautiful Beautiful collection! I bet you look marvelous in all those strands! :)

They're all beautiful! That Vietnamese akoya necklace is stunning on you.--beautiful design Wow! You have some amazing pearls!

haHA! Cheeky indeed. This other strand is certified "natural." http://www.rauantiques.com/28-8099.html How would one be able to determine if fw are natural? These look a little too perfect to be natural.

Has anyone seen this strand? 25K?:eek: http://www.rauantiques.com/29-0554.html It states, "certified natural color." Do they mean natural fw pearls--or just natural color cultured fw pearls? hmmmm
