Hi Bo
You are done for. You have it bad. Fortunately, it is a habit you will enjoy the rest of your life-so much better than collecting stamps! You are stringing on wire? I have used wire a lot, so I was wondering. Carrot couldn't have done better than that top one, though the rest are fine as well-(My daughter heard Care Ehret's name as "Carrot" and I just think it is so cute!)


P-D

She asked me if they were "good" pearls. I told her that a hundred years ago, before cultured pearls became available, only the wealthy would have owned a natural strand of pearls-- and the majority of naturals would have been imperfect in shape, luster and would have had blemishes. Because CFWP are all nacre, they (and keshi) are the closest thing to those naturals-- so she should wear them with pride.
I agree!That is a good mom, teaching her daughter about pearls. I hope she takes after you and gets the passion. Really, until I discovered this site- I was just a retiring old folk. Now, Pearls have given me much to wake up to every morning. Much better than golf as a retirement pastime- or rereading all those Regency romances. IMO -Thank heavens for pearls!-
