Hello Pearl friends! This is a strand from 25+ years ago given to me I think from an old boyfriend. Sssshhh don't tell DH that I didn't part ways with some of the items of the past. I've never really worn it but perhaps a few times a year but since finding the specific pearl forum and stepping away from diamonds, it's definitely stirring up more interest. When I measure it from end to end, including the clasp, it is about 18 inches long.
If I wanted a shorter look but for comfy wearing where it isn't a choker, what length would you suggest (think I see people going for 16 inches or 17 inches? However, I'm not sure how you consider the length if the pearls are larger in circumference?
@Pomelo - hope you don't mind me asking but how did you pick the length of your first strand? I know you have the advantage of trying it out in person too. I was noticing that it looked tighter/shorter on your husband than your own neck. So I guess neck size/trapes play a part in it?
Also, if you had to guess the mm size of the pearl so I have a reference point for future shopping, what would you guess this to be?
Thanks in advance for the guidance again!
