Light mix necklace

[JerseyPearl]

Thanks KaySD! I just received some new lighter shades of Beader's Secret (thanks again Pattye!!) so watch for some new photos once I've strung them.

Pattye has some really lovely shades of Greys ...well ..lovely shades of every colour really lol

So here is the finished product...using sky Beader's Secret (light grey blue)...and by that third photo, I can see I am going to need to re-do! I guess I didn't fully pull tight one of the knots...oh well. Here is the neck shot:
This one measures out at 17". The pearls range from 13mm to 11mm, and come from Jacques' light mix. I had originally intended to use Grey Beader's Secret, but pattye in her wisdom and well trained eye saw sky as a better option to bring out the blues!

Thank you Pattye...however, the arrangement of color was accidental at best...they are arranged based on size only!

And I realize in that second photo you can see the bottom of my wine glass! Beading while drinking a buttery chardonnay may result in restringing...I realize that I reversed the order of the last 4 pearls! Oh well.

Lololololol

Beautiful stringing, I can't see any faults wth your knotting just see beautiful pearls.

 

[JerseyPearl]

Thanks kelluvpearls...if you look at the end of the pearls, close to the clasp, you should be able to see that I reversed the order of the last 4 pearls.

That is really lovely! Very nice arrangement of colors.

The knot that is imperfect is far enough back near the clasp that it won't show when wearing the pearls IMO. I've found that even with Pattye's Serafil thread or Beaders Secret thread one needs to restring sometimes; maybe the gimp goes bad or maybe the knots tighten with wear, leaving little gaps. IMO this can wait for the next restringing. (Unless it just bugs you!)

Beautiful pearls again JP. And goodness, looks like no one would ever see the back pearls under your long hair. I would relax unless, like PD says it bugs you

 

[Katbran]

JP I've done that with the last pearls as well as the first ones lol And that was without wine !

But the beginning of summer is glorious! Somewhere in the world it's like this every day...and I'm going to find it !

I've heard the Hawaiian Islands are that way.

It looks pretty great to me, so I'd wait to fix it until it stretched more (knots tightening?) or otherwise needed it. Or if the wrong bead order disappoints you. Or if OCD strikes.

It certainly looks beautiful on your pretty neck!

 

[JerseyPearl]

Aw, thanks everyone... I might try restringing this one without wine next time!

 

[CathyKeshi]

Just beautiful, JerseyPearl ... and I vote with the crowd ... leave it alone and wear and enjoy until you need to restring for another reason

Hi Jersey - it looks amazing! Nice and round and clean. I though you might love those Light mix colors - for some reason! They are so beautiful and elegant. Do post when it is all done up with the clasp, so I can see!

Thanks Jac! The pearls are really great.

Gorgeous, JP! At this point you must be having difficulty deciding which strand of Tahitians to wear every day... Or every hour...

 

[JerseyPearl]

That would be so true if I kept them all! But this one is staying right at home with me.
