Since it is a multi color strand, you ocan always stay safe with a silver grey color. Or, depending on the color orient, you could go with a color that pulls out & compliments the color play in the orient. It's a beautiful strand so I'm sure it will look awesome with what ever color you choose.
Pearls are forever and for everyone! They're my all-time favorite. I have some beautiful freshwater and South Sea pearl rings and necklaces in my collection. I usually wear them with my gown for the evening parties.
They sound lovely. We love pics so please feel free to upload any neck shots of your treasures!
I pulled out three different colors from Pattye: Forest(dark green), black, and Storm (gray). I'm leaning towards gray. The good thing is if I don't like it I can always change the thread. This is one of the things I love about pearls. You can redesign them on a whim!
These are beautiful and I'm already looking forward to your neck shots
I would go with Storm or just plain Gray. I've used Gray so far on my Tahitian strands from Cees and Wen
That's really terrible and horribly unfair! I've had pearlescence from the UK ship a necklace and earrings to me before and they arrived ok in my home country in Asia
I went with Storm. It looks the best with darker ts. I got home late last night. Walked my dog then went to work stringing these babies!
OMG!! Those look spectacular! Great job stringing & the thread is perfect!! I just love tthem.
The first of my pearl-a-palooza items arrived today. This was supposed to one of two natural strands but strand one was confiscated by the UK shipper. This one came from New Zealand. TBH I didn’t comprehend how small a 4.5 mm non round pearl was.
At 16” it is wearable bu not quite the statement piece I expected.

I found out Scottish river pearls,which these were probably not, can only be sold by those with a license. There is no way they had them tested that fast so I assume the global shipper had a black and white no naturals shipped rule. Had the seller done their own shipping or not written natural I think this would be a non issue.
My issue is more the pearl size than the length. They are really small
After the first strand was jailed lol and this strand was about a day away from my filing a no arrival with my CC company they took so long to get to me, I did a layaway on a strand from the 1920s whose center pearl is a mm bigger to make sure I got a natural strand. After seeing these I am considering abandoning the payments on the 1920s one. I’d rather eat $200 than pay the full amount for another strand of tiny pearls. But it does have a pretty diamond clasp. Not sure what to do.
I’m so sorry you gals pearl got confiscated. I love natural pearls too. Have you gals ever looked into Karipearls.com ? She carries quite a collection of all kinds of natural pearls. You may find something there you might like.
Can any of you gals recommend someone to me that can make a pendant out of a pearl I have? It’s a pretty big natural baroque south sea pearl that I’ve had for many years and would really love to do something with it now. I would appreciate any suggestions [emoji4]
