I love an extra-long endless (no clasp) strand of pearls
that is longer than standard
pearl lengths. There is so much you
can do with it to get a variety of looks. Below is a less than 6-minute video showing
12 ways to wear a 72-inch
pearl strand with or without a pearl
shortener clasp- (view Amazon example), which is used to create choker or torsade
styles. If you do not have a shortener,
you can tie a pretty ribbon at back to serve the clasp function. For another look, consider making a 2-3 row look
with a long row for a frame
and putting a pearl
enhancer on the shortest row. Or you
can make multiple rows and put a brooch across one of the rows on the side or in
front as your pendant. Be sure to put
the enhance or pin between pearls over a knot to prevent damaging a pearl.
For more cute ideas using brooches or ribbon, see 21-ways
Stylish Petite photo post. If you have a 100-inch
pearl strand and want more ideas, see the 9-minute Java and Jewelry video demonstration
with a 90-inch
pearl strand. The two hosts show a interesting
crochet-type looping about 6-minutes in and a fashionable braiding/scarf option
a little later in the J&J video.
