Wearing my Tahitian Rikitea drop strand from the PP Tahitian sale in September 2014. After I purchased this strand I realized it was the front strand in the "wave" photo that PP had featured on their blog. So, I recreated the wave at home using my strand and a Tahitian rope that I purchased from the same sale.

Once again, dealing with cloudy days and super low light levels in the North in December.

 

[BWeaves]

OOOOO, look at those colors. Wowza.

 

[Andrew M]

Awesome photos! Between you and me, I think I like your version better.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Beautiful!

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Gorgeous!!

 

[SunSeeker]

Just lovely, Red! Love the intense colors

 

[morella]

Fantastic strand, Red! Love the photo match.
I am in the mood for wild tangles of Tahitians today.

 

[BWeaves]

OOO, Morella, I love the layers.

 

[Red]

Thank you, BWeaves, Andrew M, Pearl Dreams, 86Corvettegirl, SunSeeker, and morella.

Andrew M, thank you for the compliment on my wave photo. I'm using late summer sunlight instead of whatever they have in the studio. The pearls don't have that coppery color at all, it's more of a pink.

Nice layers, morella.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Morella, your layers are splendid!!!

 

[aerinha]

I had two blue akoya strands from when they first came out that I never wear. Made them into a rope

 

[BWeaves]

The blue rope looks great.

 

[Andrew M]

Nice pearls, everyone! The layering is expert level and the variety is awesome.

 

[aerinha]

The blue rope looks great.

Thanks, it was my second stringing project...I must have been feeling ambitious that day to take on a rope

Red - Such beautiful colours in your Riki strand ! ( well in all of them really ) They always seem to have such depth and richness in their colouring. You were fortunate to snap it up and improve on it !

Morella - great layering ! Looks wonderful !

aerinha - Oh your rope is gorgeous, what a good idea ! How long and what colour thread did you use ?

 

[aerinha]

Katbran I used Beaders Secret in sky. It seems to fluctuate color like the pearls, sometimes grayish sometimes blue. They were two 18 inch necklaces so I cut the thread at 150 inches or 4 times the expected length of the finished necklace plus 6 inches extra. I did have some extra when done unlike when I strung my GSSP strand so I think I should have based it on 16 or 17 inches - the unstrung length of the pearls.
