#s 1 & 4 are my favorites So happy for you both and I can see why you want another in lavender b! Congrats and enjoy those gorgeous torsades!

The torsades are dreamy! The different textures and shades of white and cream are incredibly lovely. I can't wait to see this in person Great idea to share these pictures, bsomlo, so everyone can enjoy.

So, here are the lavender/pink torsade options. No guessing this time.

Hisano presented option 1 and option 2. Neither was exactly what I envisioned so I made my comments (wanted those tiny whites weaving in and out) and voila! Option 3 looks heavenly. I do have concerns about the weight on my neck (app. 5 ounces) so she is holding on to option 3 so I can live with the champagne torsade for a while before deciding.

Enjoy!

Option 1:



Option 2:



Options 3 (my winner):

#3 out of this world. Or whole universe

#1 is so substantial! Congratulations on picking out such a great new bauble. They remind me of something a mermaid would wear.

3 is lovely I can see why you liked it best.

Agree it's three ! One looks too heavy visually...two is so so ... three is perfect !

I love purple and lavender pearls !

 

[dk168]

#3 for me too, the combo just looks more pleasing to my eyes.

I doubt if I would have a torsade necklace, as my neck is too short and too chunky.

[mapo]

That is an unbelievably gorgeous necklace! Congratulations!

baby nurse, how many strands are in your necklace? I need details

 

[bsomlo]

How much did you twist it? It looks lovely and casual so I'm guessing 4 on a scale from 1 (very loose) to 10 (super tight)?

 

[baby nurse]

It's substantial (6 strands) but I find it comfy.

I plucked it out of the box as is and put it on. I think it's at 17" ?
