You've Got Me in Knots

Fri Oct 06 20:18:15 EDT 2006
Today's tip comes from the great aunt of my esteemed colleague and
fellow pearl jewelry buyer, Mary Ellen. (It seems our elders really do
have some wisdom to impart after all.)

For a new twist on the classic pearl strand, take an 18-inch necklace
(or longer) and tie it in a loose knot. Fasten as usual. You'll have a
choker with an interesting-looking cluster (the knot) at your throat.

Although Mary Ellen's aunt said they used to wear their pearls this
way all the time, it was a new one on us. But we tried it and it looks
cool. Knot away, ladies!

Next up, knotting your pearl studs. (J/K)
