Changing or combining strands of pearls and gemstone beads enables
you to create entirely different necklaces.  Using an S-hook enables you to wear the beads by themselves in a classic way with the clasp in the back.

Update your pearls, choose your favorite beads – build a wardrobe of necklaces around an original handwoven gold or platinum Centerpiece.
