HH, I finally got to this thread.......well, I DO know a bit about pearls, and let me tell you, those are sensational!
dressage queen you might be giving me the nerve to wear the pearls as i would - just as you described, "just wear the buggers." love the idea that they're organic. no makeup or hairspray, so i guess i can't harm them much. what about this frigid weather?
dc120 ita, for me too, modern=timeless...and coco was a genius, but what's YMVV?
gga
la van i agree, the length is good. they still feel cumbersome to me and i think i would love a choker/very short strand or something, but since i just got them ... about 17 hours ago, it's too soon to make a decision like that, and i'd be very intimidated by the process. gga says "document" but i'm so pearl-ignorant, i think i shouldn't dare attempt it.
lovehermes, socal, pbc, mree43 thank you.
ninja sue am i? a pearl girl? haven't found "my" jewelry yet, so i'm open to that.
winternight the skin is soap and water and genetics. the figure is 1 part genetics and 1 part justice (had to wait a long time but now i guess enduring all the teasing in school - skinnier than a stick - was worth it in the long run. i tried body-building shakes, so pathetic, in high school hoping to put on some weight). on, and winternight, i understand the colander! while the pearls are leading me in an interesting direction now, the other thing i got from my grandmother, that i actually asked for, was her sewing box. it's from the '40s. mom will bring that on her next visit in march.

i have to take your word for it. and everyone else's. i so appreciate that too.
rose you and a number of others, i hope you realize, are talking me out of a new pochette. lol but you may be right as far as the pearls are concerned.
^^^All I meant by "document" is that you leave a note or letter with them telling its history and making sure your DD (or possible DGD) knows that at one time the bracelet and necklace were a single strand. This is to prevent the group from accidentally being separated. I didn't mean to make it sound complicated.
Go buy a pochette anyway!

Sweetpea (love this term so I'm adopting it for you) - you can wear those pearls right along with your Converse All Stars and jeans. Trust me.
I just wait a few minutes before putting mine on after I've put on makeup and perfume. And I keep them out of a box and touch them everyday.
I DO need to have mine restrung, though! hehe

NO, NO, get the pochette....just don't combine it with the pearls. They are stunning on their own.
oh gga you had me
DGD...
how fabulous would that be! wow, i am getting way ahead of myself, but still... lol
greentea i'm loving it!:shame: and you know i'm wearing levis as i type. the converse are retired for the season, and i'm considering moving in a different direction, but yes, you know me well it seems and this was a concern. the pearls were recently restrung - when my mom had them appraised/checked out, etc. but now i will be thinking about having them shortened...*gulp* it might make them less dramatic, but then maybe more wearable (should i tell you all about the 3 strand choker with diamond clasp i said "H no" to? i told my mom she could keep that or give it to my sister. beyond ridiculous for me), and they're not thin, so a shorter length would almost emphasize their nice size... but if any of you feel strongly one way or the other, i'll trust you, really i will!

yes. i doubled the pearls over and then used the scarf to close up the gap between the ends... i butchered that explanation, but anyways, yes.
^ I'd keep them long!! Mine are shorter and I wish they were long like yours. If, by chance, you find yourself at a formal function, double that sucker and you'll be the envy of everyone in the room. But for funky blazed with jeans, or over a cool belter cardigan, I LOVE the long length!! More versatile. Not as common. More beauty to drool over! And you have the neck to pull it off.
In any case, check the condition of the silk strand as it might need to be re-strung like what the others said.
la van my mom had it restrung a few weeks ago before she brought it to me.
greentea do you have a background in advertising? lol you're very convincing and you're saying all the right things to sway me to your point of view. lol sounds good.
what about in the cold - can i wear pearls in this cold? with my purse. with my clemence raisin cacahuete (feel bad that we've veered a bit off hermes course - but everyone's trusted perspective means a lot to me, and truly, my original post was very hermes-based...)
