? New Arrival Alert: Long Strands & Ropes
n
Speaking of the “Rope” and “Opera” lengths, I have some exciting news.
n
We just received a massive shipment of loose pearls perfect for creating these long strands.
n
- n
- The Good News: The luster (shine) is fantastic, and the price is incredibly accessible.
- The Honest Truth: Yes, they have some natural blemishes (that’s why the price is so good). But for long necklaces where the overall flow matters more than individual perfection, these are an absolute steal.
