So I really should have been more careful about sunblock before. Mea culpa. I have so many sunspots that it's not even funny.
I had a laser treatment to make my neck and chest less spotty and now must be religious about lots of sunblock till the rest of time or death, whichever comes first.
But winter in this hemisphere will end sometime, and turtlenecks will give way to open collars and dresses. Since I love pearls, I'd like a nice faux necklace - I know I wouldn't clean my akoyas properly after taking them off, and I dread the effects of sunblock on them. I want a nice looking strand or even rope that I won't worry about.
There are some nice ones on Etsy that are vintage, but my tastes run more to pinkish or white, and so many vintage pearls are champagne or cream. Also I could get some Swarovski-like beads and have one made.
From other faux fanciers, what sources do you recommend? Vintage or newish?
Many thanks!
