Just a suggestion, how about putting all the pearls in the front and a long chain at the back, to wear with shirts/blouses with collars?

I made necklaces like these, with the front sections with pearls interchangeable using split rings.

I love your collection of fun pearl projects. They look so good together - mixing all the shapes and colors. Shale is an excellent pearl assistant. I was surprised to see the faux baby pearls were so convincing.

My rose gold components are supposedly arriving today! Yay!

Lol I tried to take pics of my black spinel and tiny akoya anklet for the berricle thread since I put a berricle charm on it. Man is it hard to take a picture of ones own ankle!

You're so crafty! Nicely done. I love the up-close shot - you can really see the pretty icy blue of the pearls against the rose gold.

The larger elongated open chain links on this new configuration makes it look so modern. Love the contrasting colors too!

I love what you did there! Your pretty necklace will look great with casual or dressy clothes. I can see why you love the blues so much. They are quite special.

Thanks! I now have too many necklaces and only one neck so we will see which get worn and which might end up getting spring cleaned in a few months haha

I do think the tiny pearl strand will stay though. Even if I end up not wearing it, it looks so good on shale

Shale is adorable! Is he as mellow and easygoing as he looks?


I hear you about too many pearl necklaces. I said I would stop at 100 but kept going which upon reflection is quite silly. My New Year pearl resolution is to wear every necklace I own twice this year before buying any more pearls.

Shale really is a very mellow fellow. Lucky for me and my beading!

I thought I’d get a little dressed up today. The rose gold looks nice I think with reddish fabrics!

Lovelly length
The rose gold is very complimentary to the blue
Well done

If that was Tinky it would be one huge game and he would bat the lot one at a time on the floor
Borris wouod jump on it in the middle of the night and Tibby would just walk right through it

You have a one in a million in Shale

My wen pearls came in. 4.5mm AAA freshwater of “highest luster” per the listing.

Quite pretty honestly though hard to compare it to the tiny gem
Akoya strand. Then again the wen strand was only 20$. The akoyas were..ummm... a lot more. For me the difference is worth it, especially seeing them in person.

So everyone probably already knew about these but just in case, thought I’d share my recent discovery of orbit clasps. Lovely way to end my rope AND have the option to hand a pendant on it if I like in a way that still looks nice without rubbing against the pearls.
