That is a good idea, another thing I had not thought of. It's funny, 16 inches is my preferred length for all necklaces (it's not a choker on me as some sites say for that length it's a bit below my neck, around collar bone generally) but I am never sure if pearls are flattering for me at that...

Oh that is a good idea I would not have thought to weigh them!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I will try as you suggest with the color! My necklines (I assume you mean of clothes) vary quite a bit. Mostly I am trying to find a length that looks flattering yet is acceptable to my sensory processing disorder. My go-to length of everything is 16"...

I like those suggestions! And I will look for the night thread as that sounds pretty and I think would go well with them. Garnets are also a favorite of mine! I'm just trying to decide if short or long looks better on me, I am more comfortable in the shorter but feel like long looks better.

Thank you, PearlDreams!

Thank you for the ideas! Glad to know I'm not alone....I have issues with pendants as well, not just pearl, in general. I have discovered small and 16" seems to be my sweet spot but I am not sure the shorter pearls look as well on me so I am trying to get used to long strands.

Thank you for letting me know, and for the recommendations....I feel silly I did not even think to see when the OP had last logged on.

Thank you for the info! I love the wire wrapping idea I may try that..I've done a bit of wire wrapping mostly limited to making secure ends for my existing pendant chains but had not thought of trying it with pearls. I want to become proficient in knotting pearls so that I can do the upkeep...

Thank you very much! I am happy to be here "officially" now!

I was pleased to find that some others have and cherish fake pearls....I have a long strand of very fake (they are not even trying to be real pearls, they are not weighted at all, I think they are just a pearly coating on a probably plastic bead) white pearls that belonged to my great-grandma I...

Hello everyone! I did not know if there was a better place to make an introduction. Thank you all for all of the wonderful info I have found here during my time as a lurker. I decided it was time to join. I have had a love affair with pearls my whole life, starting with fake ones and...

I was wondering about an opinion for these pearls. They were very inexpensive (don't remember where I ordered them from) but are very special as I wore them for my wedding 6 years ago. I was a poor college student but I really wanted to wear black pearls for my tropical themed wedding (I had a...

I know this is a very old thread, but I was wondering if these lavender 9-10mm (half strand) white button 10-11mm (one strand) white potato 12-13mm (one strand) Are still up for grabs? I'm a new member just getting my feet wet with pearls and getting back into stringing and I would love to...
