and so it begins

I might sound ridiculous, but I would definitely try grape thread with your bracelet

to bring out the purples? since pearls are reflective?

Hanadama, maybe I would try fuchsia to bring out the purples and pinks

 

[Lugana]

to bring out the purples?

Yep) but I'm a fan of violet in pearls and would try to bring it out anywhere possible
Maybe "navy blue" by Purely Silk would be an even better try - it's quite purple but not as bright as grape, more subtle.

Violet in Beader's Secret is quite lovely...just sayin'

Thanks for all of your suggestions! I'll order a few different colours to try out.

Vi, how is your knotting going?

i started to knot on four threads and i tried the french gimp over a clasp.... four threads work for these faux pearls
it's really almost too easy with the beaders secret....... seriously..... i did a whole bunch of length then had to stop a bit due to a small set back in my surgery healing on my arm (i was rubbing the incision that was already giving me problems)
so i ahem, ordered some fresh water to try .... i'm planning on giving them to my curator after
