Four thousand strands were strung to a single necklace measures 2278.50 meters, consists of 316474 pieces of Akoya pearls, weight 169.89 kilograms, 8 workers spent 5 months on stringing the necklace. Guinness World Records has been created by Zhanjiang,Guangdong,China. The quality is the best of the best...

Wow! That's a little over 1.4 miles long, for those of us who think in miles. Mind-boggling.

I don't like "links" something about worms and all that. Any pictures?
*edit never mind?my router timed out earlier. I have seen the pics by cut and pasting.

 

[Bigwellpearls]

Thanks

Thanks

In that case, try to upload it again.

 

[Bigwellpearls]

Wow, eventually succeeded!

Thank you, Vigor. Once they make the record, can the necklace be broken up? It would be sad if all that beauty had to be stationary, forever.

Great photo, isn't it?

I echo thanks! for doing the math, PD. THAT would be 1.4mi worth strolling.

Hi Lisa,
You're welcome. The unique necklace could be broken up sooner or later on conditions that an unavoidable auction would be held, invitations to VIPs and Groups. Surely, all that beauty would be stationary for good if directors of the board insisted on the concept of sharing beauty with visitors around the world from generation to generation.

Wow, eventually succeeded!

I didn't really understand your response about it being eventually broken up or not. But, I too hope that once it has been entered into the Guinness that it will eventually be broken up and made into pieces that people can wear.

I think the writer is saying that he hopes the longest necklace can remain on display for future generations to enjoy its beauty. However, it might be necessary to sell the necklace, in which case, it is possible that it would be broken up and resold.

 

[pattye]

That is some necklace!

 

[Bigwellpearls]

Thank you for your comments and advice.
The unique Akoya pearl necklace will remain on display for future generations to enjoy its beauty for a least a century according to directors of the board. It's impossible that it would be broken up and resold in four decades.
It's a glorious achievement and eye-catching treasure to attract more and more visitors from all over the world to come to see the necklace.
A remarkable era has begun in global pearling industry.

Nice photo! I don't see any knots.

 

[kelluvpearls]

Do you have a photo showing the whole necklace?

 

[TaliLady]

I would love to see a picture showing the necklace in it's entirety as well. Although, considering the length of the necklace, that might b a difficult task.

Photos available showing the whole necklace , but encircled, It was sent to Guangzhou to show last month. It's just sent back to Zhanjiang.
