Show me you mixed ropes!

Any favs for mixed ropes? Like with Keshi and rounds/off rounds perhaps?

My Kojima rope would qualify as a mixed rope. Sarah described it as being natural color Chinese bead nucleated baroque pearls mixed with dyed blue (along with undyed, I would add) Chinese akoya baroque pearls. It is 62" long.

I love the flat pink keshi mixed with freshwater pink rounds. I am wearing it here with another pink strand. I assembled and knotted both of these myself. I love the colors, and the mix of shapes adds interest. A baby step for me as a pearl designer.

My newest mixed rope is the PP Tahitian the akoya keshi. Another fun piece.

I actually enjoy them all.

Thank you so much! They are all beautiful! I would enjoy them all too. That first one especially is very helpful for visualizing with what I have to combine.

All of your ropes are lovely, but that rope from Sarah is breathtaking! I so need a fun rope to wear!

Thank you, all.

Jenncent, here is the vendor photo. It is still up in Kojima's past designs, which would be worth checking out for more ideas.

Hey Jenncent, I took some pics of mixed ropes in Hong Kong - I don't have any but when I saw them in the store I remembered your thread. Here you go:

Not sure if you are referring to icy jade's visit to the pearl shop or Kojima's designs. Totally different looks.
Sarah has an amazing eye for putting together designs with pearls. Totally stunning.

I was referring to that Pinterest board. BUT, I have lost many hours of my life admiring Sarah's pearls and creations. Some of the pearls for this rope are from Kojima actually. But I will be creating it with someone else. I have no doubt I will work with her again in the future though.
