How fun! If I wore necklaces I'd do a double rope and call it a day. But I do not, so... I'd cross it twice (
like this), or lend it to a certain small metal bag (
this kind, I can't see the exact model, but you get the drift) to hang from or else loop the thing a few times to get a longer twisted strand closed with a bangle (a nephrite sliver, at 40 mm diameter, it is the only thing I can do with it). Wouldn't mind a similar arrangement as a belt (imagine pencil skirt with high corset waist, drawn rough silk in dull sea-blue colors), only with some different closure (?).
I do these things but with different ropes... coral and chain (a similar piece of jewelry to the one at BM above was the inspiration, years ago, mine are not as heavy, silver and gold) and some yards of small African shells. Summer office-wear, some versions. No way I could get those pearls to be similarly subtle! For once, they would be relatively larger on me... Inasmuch, they' go the same places as my long-suffering cork wedges and straw hat.
If you wondered 'why not evening-wear'? Well, I understand all too well that would be their fate, normally. But I do not wear jewelry unless it is anything but. Hm... come to think of it, they could become part of a certain dress, perhaps even befriend its jacket (temporary attachment on the edge - not far from the area where pearls would hang anyway, nothing too silly /~Thomas Wylde, less wild). Yep, that could work - with a bit of schnapps beforehand.
Quite frankly, at that length ...they are half way indecent exposure, those pearls. Almost no matter how I imagine them on! Possibly not the worst thing for a rope of pearls, but quite the dilemma. [
see what I mean? - if that could possibly any one's public face, it's been a while: past tense fashion, presently fantasy in need of a polite shell - by some theory, at least. Might be one conviction with [this] one supporter, but so far, so good.]
[Too personal? ... ear tips getting red here already! Darn tempting thread!]
PS.
If these could be strung on metal thread, I might have a reasonably interesting idea... [I am sure everyone has seen some version, but perhaps not with such large beads - their size would be a bit of a challenge, actually. Need to try this out to know exactly how much of a challenge.]
Oh well...
