The pearls turned out wonderfully! And they are lovely with your dress.

Linda, your double strands turned out magnificent and looks perfect with the dress! Congratulations! I always think of the alternating large and small pearls as "Chanel style," many of the pearl ropes she was photographed in were knotted that way.

 

[GemGeek]

Fabulous! Perfect dress for them, too.

 

[Parrot Lady]

That turned out so pretty!

 

[SydK]

They look beautiful, and hang so nicely - congrats!

Hi Linda, congratulations on your double row strand, for a first attempt you have done a fantastic job.
When using new pearls you can finish off the first strand as long as you know the starting off length (including the clasp).
If the necklace was going to be a graduated necklace, recommend work out the graduation first on a board or using a temporary thead\line, and then as above.

Now if this was a restring, DO NOT finish off the first row, as variations in technique and thread used can affect the lengths, and how it sits.

Linda, I'm very impressed. Don't know how you could make that necklace any better. Love the small pearls--so unique. You'll have so much fun and get soooo many compliments!

The double strand is beautiful linda.wald. You did a great job. The smaller pearls really sets off the bigger ones.

 

[linda.wald]

Thank you, everybody, for the kind comments. This was a very interesting adventure. And no, I'm not ready to tackle a graduated strand!

Love your necklace Linda, well done. I like the balance of the larger and small pearls, looking good with your dress too!
