Helen's necklace, take 2

[amezri]

Uhm. Well. That's good. Apparently the post I tried to make this morning via e-mail didn't go through.

What I was asking was if anyone was interested in making a replica of the pearl necklace Paris gave to Helen in Troy. I'm pretty sure the place I work has all the necessary materials and I can prove loose instruction.

What I need are some good reference pictures. Orlando's naked in that scene. I'm sure someone has screencaps. Any clear shots of the necklace (front and back) would be most helpful. Mostly the front, though, as I need to count the number of Keishi pearls (and whether ot not ours are drilled wrong..). I could probably make the rest of it up.

Yeah. Just an idea.

Didn't Achilles give a similar necklace to Briseis, that he'd removed from Patroclus neck on the funeral pyre?

I'll try to look for images for you. Sounds like a lovely idea! :)

Hm. Sort of. I know Helen's was pearls with keishi pearls (they look like spikes) and the one Thetis made for Achilles (which he gave to Patroclus) was pearl and some sort of shells.
