I recently found these pictures of the Gellner Mermaid strand and fell in love. I love the versatility of the necklace: it can be worn doubled or tripled, the length can be adjusted by the clasp, and the Y can be worn in front for a more casual look or hidden in back for a more formal look.
It could probably also be styled similar to this:
This style clasp from HHPmom’s gorgeous strand would also work:
I want to do something like this in pastel Tahitians. I am guessing the Gellner Mermaid requires 55-60” of pearls to be tripled and still have a little tail hanging down. The pearls look to be fairly uniform in size and round or near round (although I see 1 WSS drop). 55+ inches of round pearls would be too expensive, but I think the style could still work with a “harvest” type strand of mixed pastel baroques in different colors, shapes and sizes. I love the pastel strands that Icy Jade and Misskittycat have.
So, what pearly item are you lusting over right now?
