Cusomizing Lengths and Clasps

Q: I have a question: is it possible to subsititute an existing clasp on a necklace for another? Or--even add an extra clasp to an existing necklace for maximum versatility? For instance, I love the "City Strand" necklace, but would like to be able to break it apart with a couple of added clasps to convert it to a choker and/or double strand necklace when desired.

Also: is it possible to order Freshadama pearl lengths to order?

Thank you in advance for answering my questions. We are celebrating our 30th anniversary, and my husband has been prompting me about pearls!

A: Yes, we can either change a clasp on an existing necklace or custom make a set of strands using the same clasp on each so that they can be combined. Another option you might consider is the Mystery Clasp.

This one is great if you want to make a series of piece that are interchangeable and you don't necessarily want the clasp to show. For example if you have a standard 18" strand and the 7.5" bracelet is used for the extender, one of the clasps will probably show unless you are wearing it under a collar or have longer hair. If you choose a decorative (rather than strictly functional) clasp and would like it to show then this will not be an issue. If however, you want the clasps to be anonymous, then the Mystery clasp might be just the thing. The clasp will completely disappear when you put the sections together. The only caveat about the Mystery clasp is that the pearls need to be 7-8mm in size at the smallest.

We can do basically the same sort of thing with the Freshadama pearls in any configuration you like. If you decide on a variety of lengths and a few clasp options, I will be happy to give you some price and ETA estimates.
