JerseyPearl, what a great look! I never thought of using two different colored ropes doubled in front to make a necklace. Looks like am going to be playing with existing pearl ropes today to see if I can get the same look as yours.
Luvglitz, you have to either use strands that have identical clasps or ones that can hook together easily like orbits. Or you could use a connector in the back...or even a large safety pin.
JP, I hadn't gotten that far into the mechanics of how to manage the clasps. I had two Tahitian ropes in mind, but as I recall, they are slightly different lengths. Even if I use a connector, the clasp wouldn't sit on the center of my neck (sigh). I'll just have to stop feeding DH and family and buy more pearls.
JP -- Thank you !! I have to say I'm loving them ! Wore them to a small charity thing yesterday and got lots of remarks and an offer to buy LOL I've kept them ..for now.. But. I've never worn looong earrings before and was pleased they were comfortable. It's a bit of a prototype as I wasn't sure how the weight would go ..but with 12mm Edison's they were fine. I've done a shorter version on wire with long skinny white drops ..waiting for glue to dry. We shall see what they looks like . I need to improve my selfie photography..they don't look shiny and they are ! Haha
MSC - loving the look ! Really interesting pearls !
Luvglitz- thanks very much !!
Red - beautiful WSS - I think the size is quite perfect !! And I love the colour ! Perfection all around !
Wow, I haven't visited this thread for a while, and drooling over all the beauty I missed!
MSC, love your river pearls, and Katbran lovely earrings! Red, stunning wss strand, and JP love that combo! All stunning!!!
I've been saving pearls for a necklace but last night I decided to string them into a bracelet to wear while I collect the rest. It still needs tidying up but here are a few snaps!
