This long weekend I stayed at home and made a new necklace. The pearls came in half strand. Many of them have beautiful bands, and a few have a rainbow on them. The picture was taken after pearls were rearranged.
When I was placing the order, I was thinking of making a tin cup necklace out of them, and I almost settled with GF wire wrapped with a closed jump ring in between. But the pearls ended up knotted on sterling chain.
I specially designed the toggle clasp to be a black-lipped oyster shell and a flying seagull. I LOVE my self-designed clasp and I think it's natural and romantic. Never been to Tahiti but I know they have these.
(They do have seagulls, right? Anyone?) The plan was to oxidize the chain, but I couldn't find my LOS, so I had to knot the pearls with light color thread and silver gimp to make a shiny version.
Hours later, I found my LOS
. After a half-hour debate in my head, I cut all the knots and oxidized the chain. 
Now the "oyster" is finally "black" lipped.
And then I knotted the pearls back on with dark color thread...
and went to bed...
Took the pic above this morning.
And that's how I enjoyed my long weekend.
