Hello pearl ladies!
I’d like recommendations regarding clasp use on this 35+” strand. I’ve blended 2 strands of WSS baroque pearls, 9+-13+ mm. My quandary is whether to use 1 or 2 orbit clasp. I had asked Alexandra at PP about options to make the strand interchangeable for 16-18” and 20-21” strands, she has suggested using 2 orbit clasp.
She recommended staying away from the Miracle clasp as it would ruin 4 pearls due to the large boaring required to place them and they are more apt to be problematic due to possibly coming loose.
So my quandrum is, using 2 of the 10x30 mm orbit clasp will visually break up the strand when worn as one long. She thinks it would be a fun/chick look for it since they are baroque’s. I do love the flexibility for having 2 lengths that can be worn separately as single short strands, layering 2 together or as one long.
Thoughts please!
