To pendant or to not to pendant....?

Pearls. I have noticed I've been drawn to large, odd shaped pearls lately and was talked into buying the last two strands of peachy pink tear drop shaped pearls at my last gem faire. They were gorgeous so why not? 

While visiting my mom, I made her this. 

Her pearl were more round and disk like. 

My next strand looked like this. 

This worked out because she likes round, I prefer irregular. To finish this guy, I added a pendant. 

Fancy close up, please:

Preference?
