I thought I'd give that old cliche "cashmere and pearls" a go. I layered a 4' rope and a lily of the valley pin, with an infinity scarf. My white blouse reflected too much light and made the pearls look washed out, but IRL, the creamy pearls goes quite well with the dark beige fabric.

I've been looking at the Tudor pearls for inspiration.
I read that Autore loaned their pearls for the tv series, and the pearls for the coronation scene were valued above $60,000.
How do you keep the enhancer metal from damaging the pearls that are next to it? Do you need some sort of buffer between it and them?
If it is large/ heavy, how do you keep it from damaging the thread?
Would it work better put on at the clasp? I would think that the gimp and rings would protect the pearls, but how would you then handle the clasp?
I have a multi- strand white rice krispie pearl and lapis lazuli beads necklace that was supposed to be a torsade. The jeweler who did the commission didn't figure out how to gather the strings into a clasp. What do you use to gather the strands to twirl them? The feature clasp is a large, heavy, gold and lapis lazuli rectangle.

Here is my new necklace from Pearl Paradise that Hisano designed for me. It is a double strand with a 16" 7-8mm metallic AAA and a 17" 8-9mm freshadama (almost metallic, but just short of qualifying) nestled with a white gold and diamond clasp. I paired the double strand with my 8.6mm natural white hanadama studs (they are just about a perfect match!) Worn with my white "menswear" style Everlane shirt and a grey cashmere boyfriend v-neck sweater. I am also wearing light denim skinny jeans and Frye Harness boots for a more casual look.

This is also a fun preppy way to wear a basic strand. Wearing my 18" freshadama 9-9.5mm strand from PP over an Everlane silk blouse and sweater. I paired my 11.8mm wSS studs with it, and wore light denim skinny jeans and dark brown leather aviator boots for a casual look.

Beautiful sounding outfits LitGeek! Can't go wrong with skinny jeans and boots; and Frye harness boots are the best!
I love the look of casual jeans and dressy pearls; such a nice contrast. Well done, well done.
