I'm getting old and grey, therefore I traded in style for eccentricity. Less stress, and you don't have to worry about it. Kinda kidding, kinda not. I do love pearls though!
I wear tin cups. (Fresh water and semi precious stones along with Tahitian keshi and pearl tin cup)

I also have a lovely Kamoka drop I wear on a wire.

Lastly, I love, LOVE Tahitian pearls. I like ringed, colorful imperfect Tahitians.
The single strand is a highly lustrous but petite Tokki strand. They have all sorts of funky extra bumps.

I have two other ringed pearl strands that I stack to go out.

Those are very pretty @Daisys and Diamonds. I love the charms too. Can you use a necklace extender to lengthen the pearls so you can wear them?
ive been just thinking of that
i was thinking of a few extra pears from PP because i have 4 pearl necklase that are all a bit tight
But i think by the time the daises go in it should be find especially if i find 4 more that look similar
Do i even need the spacers?
The lady ive found to knot them also makes silver jewlery so i just assumed she would have a way to make the pearl not rub aganist the charm which has a larger hole ?
I’ve always wondered how charms work on pearl strands without scratching the pearls?
My 2 strands of long necklaces, in silver links, Tahitians SS, Akoya blue & keshi (can’t recall those are SS or Akoya).
I wear one strand at a time, long for casual, double roll for fancier look. I know they look similar.......just because I couldn’t decide which strand & they was another customer eyeing with her impatient face.....so you all know the rest![]()

I like to wear a single large pearl as a slider pendant on a wire chain on a casual basis.
One end of the chain is screwed on so that the wire can pass though the holes.
I have to be careful not to drop the end when it is loose as it is tiny and difficult to find.
I have 3 pearls to wear as slider pendants so far, and a carved Tahitian is on its way to me from Wen Pearls.
The largest one is a metallic soufflé from PP, the other 2 are inexpensive ones from Wen Pearls: a CFWP flame ball and an "Eddison".

I mentioned before that I had bought some lovely strands of pearls from an Etsy vendor but she sold me one poor quality strand. I usually throw ugly pearls in the trash but decided to use these ugly pearls to make a costume necklace with bronze/red glass beads and some black FW pearls. Pretty sure most people will think the pearls are beads but it is a fun necklace.
