My new 22" multicolor strand

[baby monster]

Just received my new 22" multicolor strand from Catherine Cardellini. Pearls are 9-10mm. Love the colors and luster . I was looking for some color variance and darker tones. It feels very nice on - there is a certain weight to this strand. Catherine was super easy to do business with. She sent me tons of pictures and answered all questions.

The strand originally had YG spacers and clasp but I don't wear much YG so I asked her to restring and put on a silver clasp. I added a pic showing the original strand. It looked very nice but just not my style. The strand lost some length when spacers were taken off but I have a necklace extender that allows me to play with the length a little bit. Let me know what you think!

More pics - hope it's not too many. I love how these pearls look against the skin.

What do you think about the darker background for this strand? Yay or nay?

Here is a shot with an extender. It takes the strand from 22" to 24". Too low cut for work so will most likely wear it this way out to dinner.

good eye! much prefer the strand w/o the spacers. too busy with them...and a bit too formal as well. this way they can be dressy or casual. again, good eye!

i love the strand on you and off. i think you'll be wearing these with and without the extender a log. they go well with a lighter background as well as a darker one.

congrats on a great purchase....and i agree that catherine is a dream to work with.

You do indeed have lovely skin, and a lovely neck! The pearls are almost as beautiful as you

Thank you, Bella mezzo, 4Ranch Girl and portoar, for compliments

I feel very glamorous wearing this strand for some reason. Don't get the same feeling from my 18". The fact that I can see it when I look down is a plus as well!

yummy! I like them best on the lighter background, but they look lovely either way. These are a nice size on you and I bet you love the length, too. thanks for sharing your pictures. enjoy!
