Dear all,

I had a chance to select each pearl, and then strung them myself into a stretch bracelet. My first time knotting between each pearl and it was hard to do with elastic, so the knots look a bit wonky...

Beautiful! I think you did a great job! That looks like a bracelet that would be fabulous to wear. Can we see a wrist shot?

One more! Lighting is tricky with Tahitians: 930C28D4-B915-4AB0-9911-C7D87537F3DB.jpeg

PS shout out to @pearlsngems who taught me nearly everything I know about pearls from the very first, and to @yssie who with her amazing bracelet inspired me to put together my own bracelet!

That's really lovely! Looks like a good knotting job to me.

What elastic did you use? I haven't knotted up an elastic braceet, ever, and I really should try.

Thanks! I used 0.7 mm stretch magic (the pearl drill holes were 0.8mm).

Congrats, @Pinkmartini87! These pearls are so luminous and beautiful! Where did you source them from, if I may ask. What size are they? They look so big on your wrist—and that's a good thing. :D

@stracci2000 Thanks! I agree—I’m looking forward to putting together a necklace next, and some earrings!

@SparklieBug Thanks! They are 9 mm on my 5.75 inch wrist. I got them from Wenpearls on Etsy. Good luck!
