help: which of these multicolor drop fwp strands?

[mapo]

I'm interested in purchasing a 32 inch multicolor metallic fwp rope. Which of these would you choose? I'm looking for the sharpest luster and uniform shape. These are all 8-9mm.




I like the luster of #2, but the shape of #3. What do you think?

Thanks!

I like color variation and shape of #3.

I like color variation and shape of #3.

Thanks baby monster! That was my initial reaction to the picture too, but then I thought that the bottom strand of choice #3 did not have the same luster as the top strand of choice #3.

I agree with 3, but if you are worried about the sharpness of luster, is there other size/shape options similar to size 3 that you can choose from to switch out maybe?

I noticed that too, but I wonder if the apparent difference in luster in the bottom strand of #3 is from the angle of the light source and/or camera. Maybe ask for more pictures of #3? I like the shape and color mix best on that one.

Thanks ckrickett and Kay for your input! I've decided to go with #3. Now anxiously awaiting its arrival.

But, I just got here and didn't get to vote!!

I think the photograph was at an odd angle. Group #3 looked rounder than #1, but I think that was perspective.

sorry for the disappointment! i'll make sure to wait a little longer for the next purchase.

Yes the photo angle makes it too hard to get a clear look. Closer shots are better as well. But that said they all look lovely so I'm sure you'll be very pleased. Cant wait to see the photos !

 

[Pirard]

All three are great options, and I think the one you chose will look nice!

 

[mapo]

I just got my new rope in the mail!

I love it to bits! The romantic colors are going to be the perfect complement to spring clothes. The orbit clasp is much easier to use than the ball clasp. I highly recommend it.

Thought you all might enjoy some pictures -

Happy Friday!

[ckrickett]

[Lovinggems]

You look amazing, great choice!

 

[Fly Girl]

Gorgeous!!

 

[mapo]

Thank you dk168, ckrickett, lovinggems, and fly girl!

 

[baby monster]

Gorgeous. Looks great on your neck, mapo.

 

[ennui]

WOW!!

The photos did not do them justice!

 

[Tucs]

Gorgeous! May I ask length and mm? It looks great on you!

 

[CRDKeshi]

Mapo, that rope is outstanding! I'm finding it hard to use anything other than the Orbit clasp these days; it's just so easy and decorative if it shows ... a win win ... Congratulations on your new pearls

 

[movie zombie]

oh, oh, oh, oh, and you have great drop earrings to go with it!
great selection and stunning on you!
I really love the shape of the pearls.

 

[seaurchin]

Beautiful strand!

 

[mapo]

Thank you seaurchin, movie zombie, crdkeshi, tucs, and babymonster!

tucs, the rope is 32 inches and the size is 8-9mm.

 

[Pirard]

That is a gorgeous rope. The pearls appear larger, maybe due to their drop shapes? The colors are great...you did a good job selecting!

 

[katbran]

Very pretty pastel pearls ! That clasp is really good..I got some in HK last year as I liked the shape of them and the ease of use. Agree with you Mapo on those those ball clasps because they drive me crazy trying to close them. Just like those fish hook clasps that the Chinese always seem to use when they string pearls..so fiddly to use.

 

[Pearlescence]

Nice pearls - ellipticals tend to have good lustre. With three recommendations I'll look for that clasp in HK!
