Pearl Novice with a Pearl Necklace..

[Abi]

I have used the bumpers many times in projects where it isn't practical to string pearls with knots. I used them between the pearls on this necklace...you can't really see them, but there are bumpers between each of the multi-pearl stations. They are wire wrapped with 14k gold wire.View attachment 49107

Hi JerseyPearl,
May I ask what color and size bumpers did you use for that stunning piece you made? Could I also know the size of pearls on that beauty?

I agree with PD - keep the best and get rid of the rest. The best advice I think any of us would give is to buy the best you can afford. Cheaper pearls generally don't stand the test of time and end up being a waste of money. I'd keep the Golay and then sell the others to buy some really good pearl studs to go with the multi coloured necklace.
