My Grandmas Revamp Torsade

[ckrickett]

Long time lurker, but I am so in love with this piece I had to share.
I had Hisano from PP revamp an older strand (that was my grandmas) into something newer that I could wear for my upcoming wedding, and wear more frequently as well.

She hit it out of the park with this beautiful torsade (nicknamed the tornado)

My grandmas akoya strand
multicolored freshwaters
and 2 akoya keshi strands
with the original gold and sapphire clasp

Nice to see the finished article, a very nice way to preserve a sentimental piece and reworked it to suit the OP's needs.

I will be sure to post pics with the wedding outfit, it's just 2 weeks away too, so I am very excited!

Thank you for all the kind words

I adore your torsade, but especially the teeny akoya keshi. Sometimes a light touch is just the right accent. Gorgeous, and congratulations.

With your Grandmothers pearl strand you have the something old and combined with the new pearls you have a special necklace to wear on your special day and for many years to come. It is beautiiful. Congratulations.
