A torsade necklace would be of choker length, much longer and it becomes a sautoir.

Found it on this website...Hmm, what is the source of this info? These seem to be rather vague definitions, imo.
Keep us updated! I've never done this show, interesting to hear about it!I'm so excited!!! Saturday is the Houston Gem Show and there will be several "Pearl Companies" present. My daughter has agreed to go with me (to help me from spending too much!!!) and we'll get to look at loose pearls and strands in person. Aloha Pearls will be there and many other companies. It will be my first time to visit a show like this. I'll post anything I purchase.
i love the look of this! well done!"Halfsies" necklace for my hairdresser is done. Oh, the bright blues/purples/greens/golds in these freshwater pearls. He's going to LOVE it. I ended up using French Wire OVER the beading wire at the clasp. It will oxidize to black over time. I didn't knot between the beads but instead, I used those black silicone bead bumpers. Also used a reamed out Sterling Silver bead over the crimp bead, it too will oxidize over time for a better look.

No, the chain is stainless steel.Lovely necklace! Did you use blackened silver for the chain?
Being a man that loves pearls, I appreciate your feedback. There was a young Hispanic man that was working at my BMW Service department and he was wearing a nice strand of perfectly round high-luster freshwater pearls. I told him how much I liked his pearls and he smiled so big!!! He must have been 20 years old...so I'm seeing more and more younger men enjoying this fashion trend!i love the look of this! well done!

I like this too! Men wore pearls since forever...then, the last 100+ years we've made some bad style choicesBeing a man that loves pearls, I appreciate your feedback.

I love it with the enhancer.How about a long strand today...this 36" white and blue freshwater mixed strand was one of my early endeavors with a long strand. This one gave me lots of practice knotting. I just love the tiny blue freshwaters with the white pearls. I wear it long and doubled. The little enhancer is worn by the clasp.

Simple little thing, I was just playing. I still enjoy making inexpensive necklaces to wear and give away. Thanks for your comment.I love it with the enhancer.
