Custom Torsade a la Hisano:

[bsomlo]

Here is the torsade revamped into:

35" graduated champagne keshi strand with no clasp

mini-torsade composed of one strand of small champagne keshi, two strands of tiny white pearls and one strand of small white round pearls with smaller version of original (I think) clasp

I can hardly wait to see them in person!

I am glad you found a solution that would work so beautifully, and I truly hope you enjoy them.

What a wonderful solution to your torsade! The new torsade retains all the lacy, feminine charm of the original in a more delicate fashion ... kudos to you and Hisano/PP for finding a great alternative ... can't wait to see neck shots

 

[LitGeek]

I love the redesign! Both are beautiful and hopefully much more comfortable! Enjoy!

What can I say? Perfect remake covers it:

It looks wonderful! Now you have two beautiful, wearable pieces.

 

[4Ranch Girl]

The torsade looks perfect on you now. Very special I bet you will love having the longer keshi necklace. What fun you will have with both. Congratulations.

 

[YC]

Your new torsade is still very pretty but looks less of a strain to your neck.

 

[Confection10]

Torsade is lovely by that way too! And that keshi rope is stunning. Lucky You! Two new pieces which are perfect!

 

[CRDKeshi]

Those remade pieces are PERFECT! Congratulations; so glad you were able to work it out so successfully

 

[misskittycat]

I love the new pieces! The new torsade allows all the strands to shine individually and be seen properly. And the champagne keshis are gorgeous!!

 

[Indylady]

I love your keshis!

 

[LitGeek]

The torsade and long keshi strand both look fabulous on you I am sure will will get a lot of enjoyment out of wearing them this summer! They look so light and pretty

 

[pkinnew]

bsomlo - Your remake is marvelous! The torsade is feminine abd beautiful and the rope is definitely going to be a workhorse in your collection! Beautiful pieces - I wish Hisano would add torsades like these to an upcoming sale!

 

[bsomlo]

I'm wearing it today! It's light as a feather and looks a tad different every time I wear it depending on how much or little I twist it. The remake is a definite winner! I may get one in pink/lavender keshi with silver/blue akoya wound through it.

 

[iguanatan]

Just beautiful... Loving the remake, so glad you did not sell it.
Really liking the keshi pearls. Don't own any, may need to fix this!

Now that's what I call a great remake: from 1 beautiful, dramatic but unwearable piece to 2 beautiful pieces that I am sure you will wear often. Those keshis have such fabulous luster, and the lighter torsade is very fresh and feminine with a lovely combination of shapes and textures.

I love the idea of mixing pink/lavender keshi with silver/blue akoyas (of course, I am loving anything with blue akoyas these days).
