Multi-Strand (3 or more) Necklace Challenge!

[pattye]

It is done!!! Thanks BWeaves & Pattye!!! It was really tricky, but taught me so much. It is exactly what I wanted. I used the stringing both strands on 1 thread, then going back thru (With Pattye's tiny needles) and did the knotting. I really had to use math for the knots and do both strands at the same time to get the big pearls to land where I wanted & get the nesting just right.

Wow, A Breaker, you did a GREAT job ~ double strands can be a challenge and you created perfect balance!

Here is a link to my one and only torsade: https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3818&highlight=torsade I'll have to make something new, though.

I shouldn't say one and only because I actually made and sold three. I wore the first one to work and it was purchased off my neck for a gift. Another guy saw it at the same time and ordered one for his wife. The third necklace was ordered by a friend of someone who received one of the gifts. If I wear something I have made, I have a hard time turning down a sale, knowing that I can probably replicate it.

I remember the beauty, but it’s a 404 message, now

How about a five stranded bracelet? Can that qualify? People who've been here long know the story of my mother's five stranded costume clasp. Long ago I decided I would convert it to a bracelet and that it had to be round white pearls (took me too many other purchases to realize). Today I finally had an opportunity to buy the pearls I needed so here goes...

Here's the clasp, all basemetal and plastic.

That’s the turquoise clasp?
