I agree! Good length and a good size for you, too!

Here's that 8mm 18" PP strand again, only now with a pendant. Thanks for recommending this great pendant hanger, Pattye! (I got it from bella findings) The pendant has a medieval feel I like a lot (and that blends so well with pearls), it's brown quartz or something, a random thrift find...

Awww! ♥ This is actually much cuter than what I imagined when I read the thread subject. Quite an elegant design, I think (abstractly a nice study in tiara design), just with playful embellishments. I really like that it is not symmetrical, and the use of the ivory flowers.

Woah, kTron, your Tahitian strand is stunning! That size is awesome on you.

Neat! Thanks for sharing!

I love the gold ones, too! And I agree, large buttons are a bit friendlier to wear than large rounds. They look great!

What a stunner! I wouldn't have naturally looked for this silhouette myself, but now that you point it out I see how much I like it!

Oooh. I like. The crop top makes the proportions interesting, and the layering makes it totally do-able. I like that there are just the three colors, too - keeps it in focus.

Woah! So interesting! And pretty crazy that it has hardly changed. I kind of like it... I can see why it would put you off navy/cloaks, though ;) This is GENIUS.

This could have gone in Pattye's white round strand challenge/thread, too! Though I'm not doing anything special with the styling of the strand here. Just...wearing it. Feel so glam in pearls and fur. This is a PP AAA 18" 8mm strand, ivory tones though I don't think you can really tell at...

Oooh! I also have some polishes I wouldn't mind finding a matching strand for.... Sooner or later, someone with the influence to develop nail polish colors is going to read this thread. I can feel it.

Just what I was looking for, thanks for the links Pattye and LitGeek! (and "tomboy princess" is such a great description. I am going to borrow that ;)) And juliebeth: Long live costume strands.

Agreed! (I so love tweed in every incarnation) (and thank you!)

And here is the full effect: There must be special gizmos to easily add and remove pendants from a strand, right? Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks, LitGeek! I like the length, too (it was the first pearl necklace I bought (after buying my sister a slightly smaller mm size, and deciding I wanted something bigger ;)), and not even that long ago...), and definitely need to wear it more. Thanks again to Pattye for the kick!

Concur! They are fascination enough in their own right.

Awesome. Love bead belts of all sorts, they drape so nicely.

This is so warm and organic! It's somehow extravagant and approachable at the same time to me, which is an irresistible combination. Love it!

How lovely, Karin! (And how sad!)

"Local pearl market"!!! I am so jealous.
