Hello Ladies, just wanted to add my remarks about the 36 inch Honora ming necklace that was the OTO. I got one which had a defective clasp, it wouldn't open properly. Secondly I got a necklace which did not have the elongated baroques as shown during the presentation. I bought this necklace only becoz they showed the elongated baroques. The pearls on my necklace were just like the TSV pearls , no difference ( I got the 18 inch TSV strand) . The pearls weren't great either ( I own all other Honora Ming pearls and these were the lowest quality ) It came in a nice black Honora box and the pearls were on the stainless steel wire , not individually knotted. Not crazy about the clasp itself, for the price these pearls should have had a better clasp. I hope others have better luck.

I just double-checked and no, it's strung exactly the same way as the two TSVs. It even has the same clasp.

This 36" OTO was item number J292783 but you don't get much of a look at it in the video.

Edit - I think I received the right necklace but these particular pearls just don't have long tails. Maybe I was just lucky/unlucky ... I haven't decided which yet!

But to be clear, the TSV only came in the two lengths; it is the OTO that was the 36" length, correct? And I do see the video does make them look more like a fireball with a substantial tail. The tsv strands I received were both different...the 20" was more like a rounded shape, and the 18" which I am keeping was more of a comma shaped pearl. Both were gorgeous, just not together.

Pagan, have you decided? If it were me, I might keep the two TSV necklaces, for versatility ...but the one 36" was less expensive ...

anisha, it's interesting that you have all the Ming choices. Which necklace would you say is the best?

Hi ennui1, I must make a small correction to my statement , my mom owns the high end Honora ming pearl necklace with the gold clasp in the 18 inch length , I get to borrow it from time to time ! The others I own , but I like wearing J289171 the most. Love the baroque ming pearls on this necklace and the twisted oval link bronze chain just adds to their beauty. The natural peach, gold, lavender and celadon colors on these pearls are beautiful . I love wearing it doubled. Haven't found the right earrings yet, just wear rose gold huggie hoops for now. I hope Honora will bring some ming earrings soon. I guess I wasn't lucky with the OTO ming pearls.

The TSV 18" strand is the lower strand, the other one was a purchase I made a couple of years ago. The top strand is more "flame ball" shaped (larger pearls)
