Beautiful! What kind of chain are you getting? Snake is classic...

I cannot find my snake chain. It's around here somewhere........:eek2:
Another alternative is to run a wire though and create 2 tiny loops on either side of the pearl, then cut a link chain in half, and attach to the cut ends. I'll post here again when get it done.
I bought 10 gems from a local seller today, and I'm experiencing a bit of anxiety trying to decide what to do with each one and which project to start first!. So exited!

I like the link-chain idea; please post pics if you go forward with that.

And I totally know what you mean about loose gems and which project to start first ... I usually go with whichever project I know for sure I've nailed in terms of design and vendor (and can afford, lol).

Such amazing luster. I can even see your fingernails reflected back from the pearl.

Yeah, my hand and cellphone in the shot!
I complained to my DH, who is a photographer, about not being able to capture the true lustre of the pearl. His response, as usual is
"It's a phone, not a camera."

So I found my snake chain.
I had to widen the hole a tiny bit to accommodate the chain.
I cut off the clasp to string the pearl on, then I soldered it back on. I like it!

I like what you’ve done with the pearl! I have a large Tahitian too, and when I wanted to switch it up, put it on a long blackened silver chain and instead of a clasp, wired it together with 3 small black pearls (long enough to slip over head). Then you can see it and play with it.

So gorgeous and I love how elegant the necklace is. The Tahitian has a mighty presence while the necklace appears sleek and modern. Well done. :appl:

I've been wearing this necklace almost everyday.
It goes with everything! The phone cant quite capture the pink/green tones.

I love it! The setting is 'all about the pearl' and it really makes that beautiful pearl be the star it is.
